Kvarven Fort, Military fort at Bergen coastline, Norway
The fortification stands on cliffs overlooking Byfjorden, featuring multiple gun positions and underground chambers connected by a network of tunnels.
Constructed between 1895 and 1902, the fort engaged German warships during World War II, inflicting damage on vessels including the cruiser Königsberg.
The fort represents Norwegian defensive architecture from the late 19th century, incorporating both coastal artillery positions and land-based defensive structures.
Visitors can explore the grounds daily, accessing the site through marked paths that lead to various military installations and observation points.
The fort maintains original torpedo batteries and gun emplacements from 1899, positioned strategically along the rocky coastline of Bergen's harbor entrance.
