Bremnes Fort, German coastal fortification in Bodø Municipality, Norway
Bremnes Fort is a fortification on elevated ground with four gun positions and an underground ammunition depot. The spaces are connected by a rail system that facilitated ammunition transport.
Construction began in autumn 1940 as part of the German coastal defense system in the north. It was equipped with heavy guns intended to monitor the coast.
The site served as a vital defense post during wartime and remains a testimony to that period. Visitors can observe how the installation functioned and what role it played for the region.
The installation sits on a hilltop and offers views of the surroundings. Guided visits are offered regularly to show the different areas of the site.
The fort is known for its large searchlights that illuminated the waters at night. These devices were important for monitoring northern waters in darkness.
