A pentagon, the fort is surrounded by covered trench caponnières.
The entrance to the fort is via a Pont Dormant extended by an overhead crane.
A thick pile of earth at its center hides the barracks of two floors which can accommodate 500 men.
Two powder stores, capable of holding 76 and 65 tonnes, provisioned the artillery.
The fort is one of the few in the region to have its military service capstones still visible in the surrounding fields.
