The Heavy Gammelskov Battery.
 
 The battery was the only one of the heavy batteries, equipped with two 24 cm. naval guns in armored turrets.
 Range 16.5 kilometres
and a grenade weight 160-190 kg. With its 250 m. long battery moat, Gammelskov was the largest
 battery at the stronghold.
 There were two stands for the guns in the battery that was never finished. It lacked space for the crew, why the ammunition
 stores in the beginning
used as shelter. This was not useful, why construction of 2 crew bunkers was initiated.
 These, however, were never finished.
 The Military railroad  is distinguished by its size, since it was split in two. One that probably were used for assembly, while the
 
other probably was used for the conveyance of ammunition.
 Also in this battery, there have been made major drainage works.
