Gråberget, Coastal artillery fort in Gävle Municipality, Sweden

The military complex consists of two separate installations, GE1 and GE2, positioned on opposite sides of the Grubban villa near the Baltic Sea.

The fortress operated until 1997 and contained four 15.2 cm cannons model m/98 E-50 capable of sinking vessels at distances up to 12,000 meters.

The fort represents Sweden's strategic defense system, as Gävle held the highest concentration of coastal artillery positions among Swedish ports.

The GE3 section of the fortification system, located in Furuvik, remains open to the public through guided tours at Furuviksparken.

A mine barrier with the code name Tobbe remained active along the northern fairway of Gråberget until 2009, long after the fort's decommissioning.
