Tangen Fort, Coastal fort in Langesund, Norway
The defensive structure sits on Langesundstangen peninsula, featuring remaining bunkers and artillery positions overlooking the strategic waters of Skagerrak.
Originally established in March 1941 by Deutsche Wehrmacht as Heeresküstenbatterie 984, the fort served as a crucial military installation during World War II.
The fort represents Norwegian coastal defense heritage, reflecting the military developments and strategic considerations of the 20th century along the Norwegian coastline.
Visitors can access the fort through a parking lot near Skipperhuset, following an asphalted road leading to a restored wooden bridge.
The fort grounds contain multiple intersecting paths across a protected nature reserve, offering views from Helgeroa to Jomfruland across the Norwegian waters.
