La Coupole, near Saint-Omer in the Pas-de-Calais, is a former Nazi V-weapon bunker begun in 1943 and intended as the primary assembly and launch facility for V-2 rockets targeting London. It was never operational — RAF bombing raids in July 1944 caused sufficient structural damage to render the site unusable before a single rocket launched from it. The bunker was rediscovered after decades of agricultural use overhead and opened as a museum in 1997, later adding a planetarium.
