A 40.6-cm cannon, part of the World War II coastal defences, built during the German occupation. It was designed as a naval gun, but was used as coastal defence, as the battleships it was intended for were never built. With a max range of 56 km, it could theoretically hit Narvik. Tours must be booked 48 hr ahead.
