The battery was built from 1899 to 1903 under the leadership of the military engineer Ernst Oskarovich Maak (the same engineer as the one who built the neighboring Pospelovsky battery).


During the restoration of 2011 — 2012, mock-ups were installed on the guns.




The battery has been perfectly restored, however, access to it is only possible by car.
