Molke Museum

What is the mysterious structure from Mölke-Ludwigsdorf (today Ludwikowice Kłodzkie, Poland)? Colloquially known as the Muchołapka (flytrap), the concrete structure supported by 12 pillars, 10 meters high and 30 meters in diameter, is shrouded in mystery. Officially, during World War II, it was the area of a power plant and a ammunition factory hidden in the forests.

The underground tunnels and rooms suggest something more. Secret experiments could have been carried out there, it could have been a testing site. There are many theories about the concrete circle, from the simplest ones that it was a place where mined coal was mixed or a cooling tower for a nearby power plant. The most daring theories talk about a secret research center where antigravity propulsion was being developed and a place for vertical take-off vehicles.

It is known that scientists and engineers of the Third Reich were working on mysterious weapons, that rockets and jet planes were developed and produced in Nazi Germany. Were there tests of other, more experimental flying objects in Mölke-Ludwigsdorf? We will never know this for sure.
