Triangular fort<\/p><\/div>\n

Most of the forts were triangular. At trangular shape was easier to defend from the caponiere in the moat. Only the Garderh\u00f6j Fort was square-shaped.<\/p>\n

The forts were covered by the batteries behind the forts. These batteries also were supposed to cover the rear of the forts.<\/p>\n

The difference between af fort and a battery is, that at a fort can shoot 360 degrees around it, while a battery can shoot in only one main derection.<\/p>\n
