Norske Løve is the name of a 19th century fortress built from 1852 to 1859 to protect Karljohansvern naval station in Horten in Norway. Its name is a reference to the Coat of Arms of Norway. The fort is still as military area, but is today only used as an administration building for the Norwegian naval officers training school.
