Torgauten fort

The fortification includes preserved gun emplacements, command posts, and bunkers positioned along the Norwegian coastline at coordinates 59°10'18.1"N and 10°50'31.9"E.

Built in 1941, the fort contained four 10 cm K17/04 cannons with a firing range of 14,000 meters to protect the western entrance of Glomma to Fredrikstad.

The fort stands as a representation of Norwegian military architecture, displaying the defensive strategies implemented during World War II and subsequent Cold War periods.

The fort operates as a museum during summer Sundays, allowing visitors to explore military installations and learn about coastal defense systems through guided tours.

Norwegian construction workers meticulously documented the fort's continuous development during World War II, transferring detailed drawings and measurements to England.
