There are places in the world that are ‘restricted’ or ‘bound’ in every house and office or institution. Places all around the world that are beyond the prying eyes of everyone.

Speaking of very such restricted and mysterious places, one is reminded of government mystery novels, spy thrillers. Conspiracy theories and names like Area 51 immediately pop into mind.

Here is a list that includes 15 more.

1. The Situation Room.

This room is a known like “War Room” in Stanley Kubrick’s satire “Dr. Strangelove”, where major (and I don’t use this adjective lightly) decisions are taken by the POTUS and his closest advisors. The room is closed to all others. The room is Located about 50 feet below the West Wing.

2. Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

The story that everybody knows how Noah Built his ark. He took not only two of every kind of animal that walked the earth/swam the seas/flew the skies but also seeds of every plant, shrub, bush and tree. He did that to repopulate the earth after the apocalyptic.

Well, this construction located in Norway is prepared for something similarly apocalyptic: to feed and sustain the remaining populace after everything has been destroyed by a possible Armageddon.

3. The Mormon Church Secret Vault.

In the Church, you can find nearly 3 billion pages of information on every family history and genealogy in America. It is out of bounds except for a rare tour now and then.

The church has been built after careful consideration on the side of a mountain face and has state-of-the-art temperature control.

4. Mezhgorye, Russia.

The most restricted sites in Russia — it is believed to be a nuclear missile site. The little information about this place is very hard to flesh out. It appears there are automatic ballistic missiles here which can be remotely controlled in case of a nuclear strike on Russia.

5. The Lascaux Caves, France.

They are located near the village of Montignac, in the department of Dordogne, south-western France. They were inducted into UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1979. These caves are famous for some 600 paintings on their walls that date to times as early as 17000 years BP.

However, from the 50’s onwards, the caves have been invaded by fungi and lichens which have popped up. As a result, access has been restricted to just a few visitors.

6. THE Fort Knox.

THE Fort Knox Is Located in Kentucky, very close to Louisville. This 109,000-acre base is considered one of the safest repositories in the world, with 30,000 soldiers and a fleet of helicopters protecting it.
