Kjøkøy Fort, Military coastal fort in Fredrikstad Municipality, Norway.
The fort spans 528 decares of land with concrete bunkers, gun positions, underground corridors, and military structures facing the eastern Glomma river entrance.
German forces constructed the fort in 1941 during World War II, installing four 10 cm K 17/04 guns and two 88 mm flak cannons by 1943.
The fortification represents Norway's defensive military heritage, with preserved German regiment markings and remnants of wartime infrastructure still visible on site.
The Norwegian Coastal Administration maintains modern radar equipment at the fort, while the municipality operates Pynten School in the former barracks area.
A natural ice age gorge within the fort complex served as a military trench, incorporating geological formations into defensive structures.
