The fort, built in the years 1882-1886, is one of the best preserved forts of the Przemyśl Fortress. Founded on a pentagonal plan, it was a typical single-rampart artillery fort. In the neck part there were concrete barracks, and further on a double ammunition magazine. Artillery positions were placed on the front and shoulders of the fort, separating them with crossbars with emergency shelters. The moat was defended from three caponiers, which strengthened its defense.
