This facility formed part of what was planned to become a string of similar outposts defending a strategically important axis for an imagined attack by Soviet forces. The plans for this defensive line was drawn up during the 1980s and this facility was finished in 1995. Due to the fall of the iron curtain and the end of the cold war, the plans was eventually abandoned and in the end, only 3 of these outposts was ever built. The whole facility was eventually sold to private interests, and today sits largely unused, even though the power is on and dehumidifier is still running, keeping the complex nice and dry.

Did the Mac boot? =)
@Jan Marius: hehe, didn’t try it. Don’t think it was actually plugged in.
who owns this site now and can anyone tell me where the bunker in Honefoss was? Thanks, Ward
I think it was sold off to a local landowner. I don’t know his/her name. Not sure which bunker you are referring to in Hønefoss? I seem to remember the army recently sold off a quite large underground facility in that area but I don’t really know anything more about it than what was written in the sales prospect.
