The Lange Max Museum is devoted to the German 38 cm SK L/45 Max gun and the German occupation of Koekelare and the nearby area in World War I. The focus on the German side of the war makes it a unique museum in Belgium. The museum is named after the nickname of the German gun Lange Max, which was one of the biggest guns of the world in 1917 and located in Koekelare. The museum was opened in October 2014 by the Minister-President of Flanders, Geert Bourgeois. It is located on a domain called Site Lange Max, which includes a farmyard. At the site one can see other protected monuments: a bakehouse, the artillerie platform and a former German mess.
