Description
English: Photo taken at the en:Vardøhus Fortress on the outskirts of Vardø town, on the Vestøy part of Vardøya in Finnmark, Norway:
  • Horse-drawn gun carriage ("cannon transport wagon TN1") from 1865, restored and exhibited in the Ladetøyhuset, a wooden carriage shed (coach house, wagon shed) built 1869. The wagon, which was part of the field horse artillery of Norway at that time, has large robust cartwheels designed to carry a heavy cannon in rugged terrain and is pulled by two horses harnessed tightly with tack, showcased in the small museum exhibition as life-size models/sculptures.
  • Vardøhus Fortress (Norwegian: Vardøhus festning) is located in the town of 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 around 1307 as a defense against raids from people further east and to secure Norwegian dominion of Finnmark and the surrounding areas. 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 walls, there are nine distinctive buildings.
