The reconstructed bunker from 1936 belongs to the system of light fortifications built in Czechoslovakia between 1935 and 1938. The most common light fortifications were Mod. 36 and Mod. 37, which were designed for a crew of two to seven men, depending on the type and design. They had one or usually two main embrasures and were designed for firing 7.5 to 15 cm caliber artillery shells. They were armed with light and heavy machine guns and small arms. The museum has belonged to the Trmice Military History Association since 2005. Machine guns of the Czech army are on display.
