Military-historical complex "Object "Rock"
Castle / fortress , Museum / gallery
The "Rock" facility in Korosten is a former secret underground command post of the Korosten fortified area №5, which was part of the so-called "Stalin Line".
It was built in 1936 on the basis of a system of natural and artificial caves in the granite rock, on which the ancient Rus city Iskorosten stood in the 8th-13th centuries. Also known as "Stalin's Bunker".
Also known as "Stalin's Bunker". In case of war, it was planned to command the South-Western Front. The object was not used for its intended purpose. In 1941, a detachment of 200 Red Army soldiers defended themselves against the Nazis for a week.
In Soviet times, the facility remained under the control of the military, then was transferred to the civil defense system. All this time the equipment (ventilation system, water supply, autonomous power supply, communication) remains in working order. The seal of secrecy was lifted in 2005, and the efforts of enthusiasts began the creation of the military-historical museum complex "Rock", dedicated to the initial period of the Second World War. One of the probable three levels of corridors and caves has been investigated.
Excursions are by prior arrangement.
