A must; the most impressive museum in Kristiansand with authentic equipment from a former military installation built in 1941-44 by the German navy during WW II. Together with its sister battery at Hanstholm in Denmark, they formed a barrier strategy that Adolf Hitler worked on personally: to obstruct Allied naval forces by blocking the Skagerrak and the seaways to Eastern Norway, Kattegatt Bay and the Baltic Sea. Only a field of ten nautical miles wide could not be covered and was therefore mined. The fortress had four gun positions, one still intact: a 38 cm calibre gun, one of the largest remaining land-based guns in the World; weighs 110 tons, 20 m long with a range up to 55 km

If you like a extraordinary seaview, og if you are interested in the 2nd World War, you will enjoy The Museum Batterie Vara Møvik Fort. Here the Nazis built a lot of bunkers, and they put up this batterie cannon that was supposed to reach its aims half way to Denmark. Unfortunately it didn't reach quite that far. They had to put floating mines in the sea area beneath the cannons reach. The batterie is said to be functioning still today, but of course it is not in use!! It is huge and fascinating to look at though.
