Siknäsfortet

Forty meters down under the Hömyr mountain at the Siknäs peninsula you will find a former top secret subterranean fortress, which was built for the defense of Töre harbour, the most northern deep-water harbour in Sweden, as well as to delay an enemy advance towards using the E4 road towards the Boden fortress (the main defense point of Northern Sweden).

Experience the cold war & the kalix defense line

The bunker is a fantastic experience with its unique background and the stories of both its every day life as well as the secret construction of the defense against an invasion.

Inside the museum You will also find exhibitions from the days of the Cold War.

Visitors information

If you, or your group, would like a guided tour in english, we highly recommend contacting us, at least one week, before your visit. Otherwise the tour might unfortunately only be given in Swedish during high season.

If a tour is only given in Swedish, you will be provided with a translation manual where everything the guide says is translated into English—room by room. These manuals are also available in Finnish.

You must visit the fortress during a guided tour. It is not possible to walk around freely.
