Brettingen Fort, Coastal defense fort in Trøndelag, Norway
The fort contains three gun positions, multiple mountain facilities, and a central barracks area positioned 82 meters above sea level at Trondheimsfjorden entrance.
The fort initiated construction in 1897 as part of Agdenes fortifications, featuring three 15 cm Armstrong guns and two 21 cm Armstrong guns for naval defense.
The preserved structures at Brettingen Fort display military architectural elements from the early 1900s, including reinforced concrete magazines and defense positions.
The fort maintains open access during daylight hours, with paths leading through various military structures and offering views across the Trondheim fjord.
German forces replaced the original 15 cm Armstrong guns with four Skoda guns in 1942, distributing the Norwegian weapons to nearby Hysnes and Hambåra forts.
