Movik Fort, located in northern Norway near the Skagerrak Straits, is a historic German-built coastal fortification constructed during World War II. Originally built by the German Wehrmacht as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses, the fort 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's strategic position overlooking the straits between Norway and Denmark made it a key defensive installation during the war.

Today, Movik Fort stands as a testament to Norway's complex military history, attracting visitors interested in WWII heritage and Cold War-era fortifications.
