This is the most interesting and the oldest fortification structure on Wolin Island. It was built in 1856-1863 around the framework of  pre-existing defensive earthworks. The fort s original structure was a two-storey, oval redoubt, subsequently surrounded with a wet moat, which functioned as barracks and combat centre.  in 1870-1881, a series of tenbrick artillery posts was built on the northern defensive rampart, where  a battery cannons was mounted. This battery, in cooperation with Western Fort , quarded the roadstead of Świnoujście port  until World War I. In the interwar period and during World War II, the fort was used as an auxiliary structure and fortress s storage facility. Fort organises mittings, barbecue, sightseeing night.
