Hanstholm Fortress, Coastal battery in Hanstholm, Denmark
The military complex extends over 2000 square meters with four 38-centimeter naval guns positioned along the North Sea coastline.
German forces constructed this fortification between 1940 and 1944 to guard the sea passage between Denmark and Norway during World War II.
The fortress now functions as a museum displaying military equipment, soldier quarters, and ammunition transport systems from the Second World War period.
Visitors can explore underground bunkers, ammunition rooms, and walk through restored narrow-gauge railway tracks that connected different sections of the fortress.
The battery contained guns with an extraordinary range of 55 kilometers, capable of launching 800-kilogram projectiles halfway to the Norwegian coast.
