Bolærne Fort, Military fortress on Østre Bolærne island, Norway
The fortification spans across multiple islands in the Oslofjord, featuring military structures, bunkers, and strategic cannon positions along the coastline.
Established in 1916 to protect Norway's naval base in Horten, the fortress operated continuously until 2002, including German occupation during World War II.
The northern farmhouse on Østre Bolærne contains preserved architectural elements from the 1800s, representing traditional Norwegian coastal building methods.
Access to the fortress requires boat transportation, and visitors must participate in guided tours to explore the military installations and historic structures.
The fort contains a 7.5 cm Bofors turret cannon installation that remains in its original position, demonstrating military engineering from the early 20th century.
