Description

Batterie Vara is named Møvik Fort today Welcome to the Kristiansand Cannon Museum, the "Vara Battery". Here you will find the world's second larges cannon ever to be mounted on land. The reason why these gigantic cannons came to Møvik was that on the occupation of Norway and Denmark in 1940 the Germans needed to guard the shipping lanes of the Skagerak. 38 cm cannons were planned here at Møvik and across the shortest distance over the Skagerak to Hanstholm in Denmark, some 116 km away.
