Movik Fort is a historic German coastal fortification located in Nordland, Norway, overlooking the Skagerrak Straits. Built during World War II by the occupying German forces, 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 site formed part of the Atlantic Wall defensive system and played a strategic role in controlling access to the Norwegian coast. Today, the fort is recognized as a significant military heritage site, though it has been closed to the public due to safety concerns.
