Kopåsbatteriet, Artillery battery in Drøbak, Norway
Located on the Kopås hill, the battery consists of multiple gun positions with two 10.5 cm SKC/32 L guns mounted in concrete casemates and ammunition storage facilities.
Built between 1898 and 1900, Kopåsbatteriet engaged German ships during the 1940 invasion, firing approximately 22 rounds at vessels Blücher and Lützow.
The preserved military installation represents Norwegian coastal defense systems and serves as an educational site about World War II military operations.
The battery grounds contain remaining gun emplacements and underground storage rooms, with two original mounted cannons still visible in their protective structures.
In 1952, the battery received four specialized 10.5 cm guns transferred from Blåmannen in Bergen, marking its final operational configuration before decommissioning in 1974.
