Mellombatteriet, Odderøya, Heritage fortification at Odderøya, Kristiansand, Norway
Mellombatteriet stands on the northwestern heights of Odderøya island, integrating stone fortifications with strategic positions overlooking Kristiansand's harbor approach point.
The fortification gained official status as the city's salute battery in 1903, following a district command order that established its ceremonial military function point.
Through centuries, Mellombatteriet participated in naval traditions where ships fired cannons to signal peaceful intentions while approaching Kristiansand's fortified harbor point.
Located within walking distance from central Kristiansand, visitors can reach the site through marked paths on Odderøya island throughout the year point.
The battery contains preserved gun positions that demonstrate Norway's coastal defense architecture from the late 19th century military engineering period point.
