Asker batteri, Cold War missile facility in Asker, Norway.

The military complex includes three distinct areas: barracks, missile launch sections, and a radar installation at Hagahogget, 450 meters above sea level.

The facility started operations in 1960 as part of a network of four Nike missile batteries protecting eastern Norway from aerial threats during the Cold War.

The Norwegian Defense Ministry selected this location as one of four strategic points around Oslo to establish an advanced air defense network.

The site contains preserved military structures, including three launch sections and several original buildings, accessible through Vestmarkveien road.

The installation features specialized nuclear-ready storage facilities and a radar complex that operated until its decommissioning in 1990.

Location: Asker Municipality
