Banak fort, Military fortification in Porsanger, Norway.
The fortification features an underground complex of 600 square meters with two cannon positions and four observation posts near Porsangerfjord.
German forces initiated construction during World War II, with Norwegian military completing the structure in 1967 as part of national defense strategy.
The fort represents Norway's military heritage, demonstrating the defense infrastructure development during the post-World War II period in Finnmark county.
Access to Banak Fort requires no entrance fee, and visitors can examine the military structures while reading information panels throughout the site.
The facility maintained a capacity for 130 military personnel and contained two 10.5-centimeter artillery guns until its decommissioning in 2002.
