Movik Fort is a historic German coastal fortification located near Bergen, Norway. Originally constructed during World War II by the German Wehrmacht as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses, the fort once housed one of the largest cannons of the era - a 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, controlling a strategic maritime passage.
During the Cold War period, Norway's proximity to the USSR led to renewed military focus on such coastal defenses, with many bunkers being restored or maintained as part of the country's defensive strategy.
