Ergan kystfort, World War II coastal fortification in Bud, Norway
Ergan kystfort is a coastal fortification in Bud positioned on a hill 63 meters above sea level, overlooking Hustadvika waters and the surrounding coastline. The site includes bunkers, gun emplacements, and watch buildings constructed into the rocky terrain.
German forces built this defensive position between 1941 and 1945 as part of the Atlantic Wall on the Norwegian coast. Approximately 150 Polish and Russian prisoners were used for construction work under difficult conditions on the site.
The museum displays wooden items crafted by wartime prisoners, which they traded with local residents in exchange for food during the occupation.
Visiting is best during warmer months when the terrain is fully accessible and visibility across the water is greatest. Sturdy footwear is essential since the ground is uneven and often damp, and climbing the hill requires moderate effort.
The fort contained six captured French field guns with a 17-kilometer range that could fire far out to sea. Alongside these were radar systems for maritime surveillance that systematically monitored the Norwegian Sea.
