Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Aerial photo of the Vardøhus Fortress on the outskirts of Vardø town in Finnmark, Norway, likely taken in the 1960s.
  • Vardøhus Fortress (Norwegian: Vardøhus festning) is located in Vardø in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway, on the island of Vardøya on the Barents Sea near the Russian border. The northernmost fortress in the world was originally built on the island in the early 14th century as a defense against raids from people further east and to secure Norwegian dominion of Finnmark and the northern territories. The current Vardøhus Fortress was constructed between 1734 and 1738 and remains largely intact in its original form to this day. Covering an area of 25 acres, the defense facility is designed as an octagonal star with low stone-clad earth ramparts. Inside the fortification walls, there are nine distinctive buildings.

Norsk bokmål: Luftfoto av Vardøhus festning i utkanten av Vardø i Finnmark. Bildet er trolig tatt fra mastene på Vardø Radio en gang i 1960-åra. Bildet viser også landskapet omkring festningen med hus og bebyggelse på leirområdet, det nybygde fylkessykehuset fra 1956 (til høyre), sandsteinsbygningen «Lushaugen» bak (karantenestasjon fra 1922 til rundt 1930),, kaianlegg ved Bussesundet, hjell for tørrfisk og mer.
  • Vardøhus festning på Vestøya-delen av Vardøya i Øst-Finnmark er Norges østligste og verdens nordligste festning. Den stod ferdig tidlig på 1300-tallet som forsvar mot plyndringstokter fra folkene lenger øst og for å markere herredømme over Finnmark og nordområdene. Dagens festning ble bygd mellom 1734 og 1738. Det 25 mål store forsvarsanlegget er formet som en åttekantet stjerne med lave, steinkledde jordvoller. Innenfor murene er det ni særpregede bygninger.
Vardøs forrige festning Slottet (Vardøhus slott) lå i Østervågen, omtrent midt i det som i dag er Vardø by.
