Movik Fort, located near Kristiansand in southern Norway, is a former German coastal fortification built during World War II. The site once housed the second-largest cannon in the world at the time - 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, strategically positioned to control this important maritime passage.
Originally constructed by German forces during their occupation of Norway, the fort represents the extensive military infrastructure built along Norway's coastline during the war.
