Hysnes Fort, Coastal defense fort in Hasselvika, Norway

The fort complex contains rock facilities, cannon positions, anti-aircraft stations, trenches, and military structures spread across an extensive coastal area.

Constructed in 1897, Hysnes Fort served as a defensive installation with Armstrong guns to protect the entrance of Trondheimsfjord during military operations.

The military museum at Hysnes Fort displays artifacts and exhibits that document the Norwegian coastal defense strategies through different time periods.

The fort opens for guided tours every Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM during summer months, with special arrangements available outside regular hours.

The Fjellhallen, a former military storage facility within the fort, now functions as a concert venue due to its exceptional sound characteristics.
