100 YEARS OF MILITARY HISTORY
Follow us on a unique guided tour in the footsteps of the Cold War
Guided Tours
Our guides take you through decades from the beginning of the Cold War to the decommissioning of the fixed army battery preserved in its original condition. During the open season, fixed drop-in tours start at 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00. The tour takes about 40-60 minutes and the fortress temperature is about 17 °C. No pre-booking is required for the fixed tour times. Tours do not start before, between, or after these times unless a special group visit has been arranged.

Meetings, Conferences & Seminars
Here you can socialize and be several together, work colleagues, families, groups of friends and friends. Have a good time together, celebrate and experience the fort together. Or maybe you want to organize your meetings, team building or minor seminars in a different place and way.
Overnight in the Mountain
Our lodging is in the condition the defense left it. There is room for up to 25 people in five rooms of different sizes — from single rooms to dormitories for 14. Experience what it was like to live in the fort and combine your activities with an overnight stay. Available only for groups of at least 8 people.
Submarine Museum
HMS Spiggen II — Sweden's only domestically built mini-submarine. 11 meters long, used for submarine-hunt exercises during the Cold War. The crew consisted of two pilots and one to two combat divers; displacement 12 tons.
Opening hours
The Submarine Museum keeps the same hours as the fortress — open 11:00 to 16:00 during the season. No fixed guide times; admission can be paid at any point during opening hours.
The Summer Cottage Cannon
Right next to the Submarine Museum stands the Summer Cottage Cannon — a coastal gun camouflaged during the Cold War as an ordinary summer cottage by the shore. A classic Swedish coastal-defense trick with a wink of humor.

Morjärv — The Redoubt & Anti-Aircraft Tower
In Morjärv the Siknäsfortet Foundation maintains two military-historical sites that together span more than a century of Swedish defence. Both can be visited, but only by pre-booking and only for groups of at least 8 people.
1915–1918
The Redoubt — the rifle gallery
The redoubt ("Skansen") was built between 1915 and 1918 and is also known as the rifle gallery (gevärsgalleri). It is one of Norrbotten's oldest preserved fortifications and a witness to the readiness around the First World War.

The Anti-Aircraft Tower
The Luftvärnstornet was raised in 1940 during the wartime readiness of the Second World War. Mounted on top is a 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun — the iconic Swedish AA piece of the era.
