Movik Fort is a historic German coastal fortification located near Bergen, Norway. Built during World War II by German forces occupying Norway, 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 fort sits in a commanding position above the Skagerrak Straits between Norway and Denmark, controlling a strategic maritime passage. Originally constructed as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses, Movik Fort represents Norway's complex military heritage from both World War II and the Cold War era.
