Fortress sights in Vardø

  1. Vardøhus Festning

    The star-shaped Vardøhus Festning  – yes, of course it’s the world’s most northerly  – was constructed in 1737 by King Christian VI. For a fortress, it’s painted in gentle fairy-tale colours. On a nice, sunny day it’s pleasant to stroll around the flower-festooned bastions, past turf-roofed buildings and Russian cannons. You pay the admission fee either at the guard office or by dropping it into the WWII sea mine that guards the entrance.
