Masnedø Fort, Military fort in Vordingborg Municipality, Denmark
The fortress occupies 45,000 square meters on Masnedø island, featuring underground facilities and a strategic position between Zealand and Falster islands.
German paratroopers captured the fort in April 1940, marking the first successful airborne operation in military history during World War II.
Since 1997, the fort hosts annual summer art exhibitions, transforming former military spaces into galleries that showcase Danish and international artists.
Visitors can reach the fort via the Masnedsund Bridge from Zealand or the Storstrøm Bridge from Falster, with parking available near the entrance.
The fort maintains sheep that graze on its surrounding pastures, combining natural maintenance with historical preservation of the military structures.
