Austrått Fort, Coastal defense fortification in Ørland Municipality, Norway
The fort includes gun emplacements, bunkers, and observation towers positioned along the coastline to protect Trondheim fjord from naval attacks.
German forces constructed the fortress in 1942, installing a massive triple 28 cm gun turret from the battleship Gneisenau to strengthen coastal defenses.
The site functions as a museum since 1991, presenting military equipment, historical artifacts, and informational displays about Norwegian coastal defense strategies.
Visitors can access the underground barracks, ammunition rooms, and turret shaft through guided tours that detail the technical aspects of this military installation.
The fort contains a preserved 800-ton triple gun turret capable of launching 730-pound shells across 38 kilometers of surrounding waters.
