Lochnagar Crater: A symbol of the past, a message to the future

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." - George Santayana once said. And we can't help but agree.

The French Lochnagar Crater is an excellent place to learn from history and make a silent promise not to replicate it. That's a 30 m deep and 100 m wide wound on the earth's surface, marking the beginning of the Battle of the Somme in 1916 - the bloodiest page of the British militaristic records.


The Lochnagar Crater is the most monstrous rage pit ever made by human beings. The explosion, which caused it, was named to have produced the loudest human-made sound in history and remains a symbol of war, peace, cruelty and hope, and terror and redemption.


Visiting the French Lochnagar Crater
Paying a visit to the Lochnagar Crater is free for everyone and available all-year-round. Being on the verge of the hole is a touching encounter with a strong emotional impact on people of different nations, cultures, and religions. Because we've all seen war. And we've all lost it.

The atmospheric space around the Crater is nowadays meant to nourish an environment of unity and continually encourage personal, social, public, and universal reconciliation. That's why anyone is welcome to attend three annual memorial ceremonies freely:


July 1st - the anniversary of the explosion
November 11th - Armistice Day
June 28th - the anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty in 1919
During these days, thousands of people gather and hold hands, forming a large circle around the Crater. As a recollection of the past. As a promise to the future.
