A museum located in Oerlandet (or Örlandet) near Trondheim in Norway. I was one of the large german batteries in Norway during World War II. It was known under the name "Marine Küsten Batterie Oerlandet" (M.K.B. Oerlandet).
It was equiped with 3, 28cm Schiffs Kanone C/34 (28cm S.K. C/34) in a tower. This tower (and the three guns) come from the German battle-ship "Gneisenau".

The M.K.B. Oerlandet was manned bij the 4./M.A.A. 507. In juli 1943, the battery was ready for action. The battery never saw action during the war.
After the war, the battery was used by the Norwegian army. Currently the former battery is museum under the name of "Austråt Fort".
