Description
English: Photo taken at the Vardøhus Fortress on the outskirts of Vardø town in Finnmark, Norway:
  • Statue of Haakon VII of Norway, who sat on the throne from 1905 to 1957, created by the Norwegian artist Ørnulf Bast (1907–1974). The "King's Monument was unveiled in 1964. The memorial is named "Vardø Watch against the East."
  • 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 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.

The Norwegian Copyright in Literary, Scientific and Artistic Works Act, in section 31 says that works of art and photographic works may be depicted when they are permanently mounted or located in or near a public place or a publicly accessible passage through some place. However, this does not apply when the work is clearly the main subject and the reproduction is exploited commercially. The same section says buildings may be freely depicted.

Since Commons requires that all images be free for commercial use, buildings are the only copyrighted works in Norway for which the FOP exception applies for Commons.
