The fort was built in 1887 during Austro-Hungarian rule as part of a larger border defense system. It was designed to protect against potential threats from the east during that period.
The fort reflects military construction methods of the Austro-Hungarian army, with stone walls and firing ports still visible today. Visitors can recognize the defensive design of this era in what remains of the structure.
The fort is within walking distance of Lviv and accessible by public transportation. Visitors should be prepared for uneven ground and bring light when exploring the underground sections.
The underground passages contain observation points positioned to survey the surrounding valley and pine forests below. These hidden positions were key elements of the defensive design.
