Garderhøj Fort, Military museum and fort in Gentofte Municipality, Denmark.
The fort contains extensive underground passages, armored gun turrets, and military equipment spread across multiple fortified structures and defensive positions.
Built in 1892 as part of Copenhagen's defense system, the fort was funded by public donations totaling 1.5 million kroner when politicians could not agree on financing.
The museum presents exhibitions about Danish military heritage, displaying original weapons, uniforms, and equipment used by soldiers during the fort's operational period.
The fort welcomes visitors every Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 to 16:00, offering interactive exhibits and guided tours through the renovated artillery installations.
Visitors can operate a small cannon, send morse code messages, and exercise in the gymnasium where soldiers once trained during their military service.
