Work began on the Fort in the 16th century. The tower was constructed as part of an effort to strengthen the defence of the Island in case of invasion. In the 17th century, during the English Civil War, the tower was repaired and surrounded by bulwarks (a defence position for cannon). It became a Fort whose main objective was to protect the vessels in St Aubin’s Harbour.
