Torås Fort, Military fort in Færder, Norway

The coastal defense structure contains a network of underground tunnels and above-ground fortifications overlooking the strategic waters of the Oslofjord.

German forces completed the construction of Torås Fort in November 1941, making it a key defensive position during World War II and the Cold War period.

The fort includes a military-historical exhibition within one of the five reopened tunnels, presenting artifacts and information about Norwegian coastal defense systems.

Guided tours lasting two hours are available for groups between 10 and 50 people, with entry fees of 200 NOK per adult while children under 12 enter free.

The fort served as an educational center for secret agents during the Cold War as part of a CIA-funded organization called Stay Behind.
