The Lange Max Museum (LMM) is devoted to the German 38 cm SK L/45 "Max" gun (Batterie Pommern) 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.

Next to the museum you can find the remains of Batterie Pommern, the former biggest gun of the world in 1917.
Also a memorial monument "Bloemen tegen het vergeten" can be found there.
