An almost complete 40,6cm WW II gun and bunker built by the Germans during

WW II, mainly in 1942-43. It was handed over to Norwegian military authorities after the war and used by the Coastal Defence of Norway up to 1964. Hence, the facility is very well kept and maintained and contains original equipment from

WW II. Outside the bunker is a German WW II 88mm flak gun and a searchlight.

 

Inside the bunker you can see a map depicting the extensive German fortifications along the coast of north-Norway. Some glass showcases with German equipment used

by the Norwegian armed forces can also be seen. One of the ammunition rooms looks almost authentically to what it did in the war years. You will see tools for

maintenance, a gallery of pictures from the war years and instruments used at

the CP and OP’s. When in the turret everything is authentic and you are brought

back to the war years in time and technology.

 

At the gun site and inside the bunker complex you can take pictures.

 

Important note: You are inside a restricted military area. It is not allowed to take pictures or film on your way to the gun site from the gate area, and after you have left the gun site on your way back to the gate.
