Movik Fort is a historic German coastal fortification located near Narvik, Norway. Built during World War II by German forces, the fort once housed the second largest cannon in the world - a massive Krupp 380mm gun with a range of up to 55 kilometers (35 miles) and weighing 337 tonnes. The fortification sits in a commanding position above the Skagerrak Straits between Norway and Denmark, strategically overlooking this important maritime passage.
During WWII, Norway's extensive coastline made it a critical location for German defensive installations as part of their Atlantic Wall strategy.
