Construction of the fort began in the years 1854-1857, and its modernization was carried out in the years 1881-1900. The Fort has the shape of bastion with a dry moat. The shelters are located in cross members on the shaft. In the central part of the fort is the main block connected to the postern of the barracks – visible remains being their foundations and remnants of walls. The barracks were two-storied, linked to a further building, which housed the ammunition depot and a medical station. On both shoulders of the fort are two artillery traditors or casemates. The fort was partially blown up in 1915.
