This was to be short-lived and its name deemed most inappropriate from November 1914 onwards.
After the war the wood was turned into a private museum by the land's owners, the Schier family (in whose hands it remains to this day).

Sanctuary Wood is considered by many to offer the finest preserved trenches on the Western Front.

Aside from battlefield artefacts the interior of the museum offers 3D stereoscopic photographs of highly graphic scenes taken during the war.
