Movik Fort is a historic German-built coastal fortification located in Norway, overlooking the Skagerrak Straits between Norway and Denmark. Constructed during World War II, 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, reflecting the strategic importance of Norway's coastline during the German occupation from 1940 to 1945. Today, the site is recognized as part of Norway's military heritage, with some bunkers from the Cold War era also being restored in the region due to renewed geopolitical tensions.
