Citadellet (The Citadel) is the name of a 19th century fortress built from 1848 to 1851 to protect Karljohansvern naval station in Horten in Norway. Its architect was Cristian Henrik Grosch (1801-1865). The fort was demolished in 1971 to make room for a new large welding hall to be added to the naval ship yard.
