Bangsbo Fort, Artillery battery in Frederikshavn Municipality, Denmark
Located on a hilltop plateau 82 meters above sea level, Bangsbo Fort provides monitoring capability over the Kattegat and North Sea waters.
The German forces established this military installation in April 1940, initially equipping it with 8.8 cm anti-aircraft batteries for coastal defense operations.
The North Jutland Coastal Museum maintains the fort as an educational center, displaying original equipment and documenting Denmark's World War II experiences.
Visitors can explore 34 large concrete bunkers, 17 light bunkers, and additional military structures spread across the fortification grounds.
The fort contains naval guns from the Danish warship Niels Juel, which were installed by German forces in 1944 to strengthen coastal defenses.
