This fort has been built in deadly haste during East (Crimean) War for defence of North seaway. There was a little temporary battery on artificial island before that. The new fort had the bowl form and was made with earth and wood. Famous Russian fortification engineer Eduard Totleben was in charge of these works. The construction was finished summer 1856.
