The Kristiansand Cannon Museum preserves a formidable 38 cm cannon, one of the largest remaining examples of German coastal artillery from World War II. Visitors can tour the gun emplacement, descend into the bunkers, and learn about the region's wartime history through guided tours. The site offers a rare glimpse into the scale and technology of coastal defense systems, with the cannon still in its original position overlooking the sea.
