Fortress sights in Northern Norway

  1. A

    Kristiansten Fort

    For a bird’s-eye view of the city, climb 10 minutes from the Gamle Bybro to Kristiansten Fort, built after Trondheim’s great fire of 1681. During WWII the Nazis used it as a prison and execution ground for members of the Norwegian Resistance. The grounds are open year-round, whenever the flag is raised.
