Greåker Fort

This fort was built from 1903 to 1908 and was armed with four 10,5cm field guns and two 12cm Schneider Anti-air guns. It fired around 3000 shells on 13 April 1940, but surrendered quickly due to the fact that only 85 men were defending the fort and some apparature went broke during the course of the battle.
