Tordenskiold Oak, Protected oak tree in Horten Municipality, Norway.
The Tordenskiold Oak stands near Tordenskjoldbukta Bay, featuring a hollow trunk supported by metal pillars and reinforcement wires to prevent collapse.
On December 9, 1921, Norwegian authorities designated this ancient tree as a protected natural monument through an official royal decree.
The tree connects to maritime traditions as Admiral Peter Wessel Tordenskiold reportedly used it for mooring ships during naval operations.
Visitors can find the oak at coordinates 59°25'57.7"N and 10°27'15.5"E, surrounded by protective fencing to ensure its preservation.
This oak tree, estimated to be between 800 and 1000 years old, survives despite its trunk being split nearly in two parts.
