Brettingen fort

(See below for Norwegian text)
Construction of Brettingen fort was started in 1897, at the same time as Hysnes and Hambåra forts which together formed the Agdenes constellation of fortifications. The construction was a part of a larger military build-up towards the dissolution of the union with Sweden in 1905. Luckily, although the army was put on a an alert and partial mobilization was enacted, no hostilities ever broke out. At least outside of the negotiation rooms 🙂
