Ammunition Storage Bunker

A Walking Tour of Møvik Fort and Battery Vara

Ammunition Storage Bunker

Vest-Agder 4624, Norway

Created By: Møvik Forts Venner

Information

In order to minimise the threat of a catastrophic explosion, the ammunition for the guns was stored here, 800 meters away from the weapons. The German specifications for ammunition storage called for 1000 meters of separation between storage and the guns, however it was felt that the terrain here at Møvik was rough enough to wave this rule.

This is the only building inside the fortress with a Grade I listed exterior. From here ammunition was transported to gun emplacements I and II by a narrow-gauge railroad .
