Cannon IV

PLAY VIDEO

This is the entrance to the Cannon IV emplacement and bunker. The gun installed here was the same type as Gun II. Following the Storting’s (Norwegian Parliament) decision to decommission Møvik Fort in 1959, the guns were sold as scrap iron. The bunker has been bricked up, but is still an interesting reminder of the military activities here. If you look to the right of the entrance, you will find a path up to the top of the bunker.
