This isn't your ordinary garden shed.

This is a Swiss 10.5 cm gun turret in Mels, in the Alps. These guns were originally ordered in the 1930s, and placed inside heavily armored turrets.

There's a huge amount of fortifications in Switzerland, essentially making the country a fortress that would be too costly for any invader to tackle. Many are creatively (and very effectively) camouflaged to avoid detection.

This particular turret has been quite convincingly disguised as a shed. The gun would have been covered when the turrets were in operation. They were retired in the 1990s.
