The contours of the fort have always remained visible in the landscape and the moat and ramparts were restored around 2008.
Nowadays the area is managed by Staatsbosbeheer, and it is freely accessible.

Just like the forts of Sint-Jacob and Sint-Livinus, Fort Sint-Joseph is part of the Line of Communication between Sas van Gent and Hulst. The forts were constructed by the Spanish in 1634 as simple square structures. They served as guard posts along the creeks and salt marsh areas outside the dikes and were therefore equipped with so-called guard houses, a kind of watchtowers. The courtyards of the three forts were enclosed by a moat more than 10 meters wide and could be entered via a bridge.
You can discover the site via a walking path.
