Skrolsvik fort, Coastal fortification in Senja Municipality, Norway.
The military complex stands at the southwestern edge of Senja island, featuring four German 15 cm cannons and multiple defense structures at strategic positions.
German forces established the fort in 1941 during World War II, and it remained active under Norwegian Navy control until its decommissioning in 1989.
The Senjehesten Coastal Defense Museum maintains the fort's structures, preserving military history and architectural elements from its operational period.
Visitors can access the fort through regular ferry connections from Harstad to Skrolsvik, crossing the Vågsfjorden to reach the southwestern part of Senja.
The fort retains four intact German 15 cm cannons from World War II, positioned within their original concrete emplacements overlooking the Norwegian Sea.
