The bastion was built between 1845 and 1855 under Major von Völker, the defensive barracks under Lieutenant Sunday and summed up to 1,611 men. It consists of a three-sided wall with a hollow cross-beam on the Saillant, the Escarpe with a caponniere on the left shoulder, a very strong Bonnet casemate in Saillant and a Halbcaponniere on the right shoulder.
