Movik Fort is a historic German-built coastal fortification located near the Skagerrak Straits in Norway. Constructed 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 fort sits in a commanding position overlooking the strategic waterway between Norway and Denmark, making it a key defensive installation during the war. Today, the site is recognized for its historical significance and has been subject to preservation efforts, though it has faced periods of closure due to safety concerns.
