Plokštinė Missile Base / Cold War Museum (Žemaitija region)

otherverified

A former underground Soviet R-12 Dvina missile base in the Plokštinė forest near Plateliai Lake, converted into a Cold War Museum in 2012. Notable as one of the Soviet Union's early underground nuclear missile installations in Lithuania (Samogitia/Žemaitija).

The Haunting

Plokštinė was constructed as an underground base of the Soviet Union to house R-12 Dvina medium-range ballistic missiles. Located in the sparsely populated Plokštinė forest near Plateliai Lake and close to Plokščiai village (approximately 13 kilometres north of Plungė), the site served as a Cold War military installation. In 2012 the site was repurposed for public education and heritage as the Cold War Museum, preserving the site's military history and allowing visitors to view the former base and related exhibits. The provided source focuses on the site's historical and military significance and its conversion to a museum; it does not document any supernatural traditions, reported hauntings, or paranormal phenomena associated with the location. Any association with Žemaitija Museum or Kretinga Manor grounds is not supported by the cited source and is therefore not asserted here.
