The point evolved with the performance of artillery, and the fortifications were improved until the end of the 19th century. The model tower remained unchanged until the German occupation.
The Germans deployed numerous bunkers in the perimeter and razed the fort's firing platform, depriving it of its parapets and bretaches.
