Individual visitors

Visitors can tour the site at their own pace and discretion. However, it is preferable to start with the permanent exhibition, in order to get a general sense of the resistance movement and deportation in Europe, before addressing the specific case of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp.

For a self-guided tour, the following estimated times are required:

- Historical site only (former concentration camp): approximately 1 hour.

- Historical site and camp museum:  between 1.5 and 2 hours.

- Historical site, camp museum, permanent exhibition “Against Barbarism: Engaging, Resisting, Fighting” and temporary exhibition: between 2.5 and 3 hours.

- Gas chamber, located 1.5 km downhill from the camp: 20 minutes.

Furthermore, depending on the number of visitors on the site, the staff may request that you begin either by visiting the museum or the buildings at the base of the camp.

After reserving their tickets with the Pass Culture app, young visitors show a code at the ticket office. This validates the ticket and deducts the admission total from the Pass Culture.

Anyone requesting a discount or free admission must provide proof of their status, except for the age of minors.

Valid for one year from date of purchase.

The CERD is a site associated with the Pass Alsace.
By showing the Pass Alsace, adults and children get half off the price of admission (or free admission depending on their age).
