Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

Movik Fort is a former German coastal artillery battery located near the Skagerrak Straits in southern Norway. Built during World War II by the German Wehrmacht, it once housed the second-largest cannon in the world—a massive Krupp 380mm gun with a range of up to 55 kilometers and weighing 337 tonnes. The fort sits in a commanding position overlooking the strategic waterway between Norway and Denmark, playing a key role in German coastal defenses during the war.

Today, the site is recognized as a historic military monument and has been closed to the public due to safety concerns, though it remains a point of interest for military history enthusiasts and Cold War heritage studies.
