There are only remnants of the foundation walls remaining from this barracks building. On the opposite side of the road was the canteen, which also served as a R&R building for the German soldiers. The Germans had a very good welfare and recreation program for their troops. It featured entertainment such as: motion pictures, and travelling troupes of musicians, singers and actors. The observation of religious feast days and holidays was important, and the large camps had special “matrons” who would help make life as much like ‘home’ as possible for the German soldiers.
This point of interest is part of the tour: A Walking Tour of Møvik Fort and Battery Vara
