The fortification contains military equipment displays and informational exhibits detailing the wartime operations of coastal defense systems in Norway.

The site includes designated parking areas, guided tours in summer months, and educational materials about World War II coastal defense strategies.

Three massive gun emplacements within this fortification were designed to defend against naval attacks across a range of 40 kilometers.
