All the forts , except the Garderh\u00f8j Fort was triangular forts. Its is the easiest shape to defend.
\nIn the backside of the fort, the throat, there was casemates and a caponiere. This enabled flanking fire to protect the fort and the moats around it.\u00a0Some of the casemates facing the throat pit was for the crew, kitchen etc. On the other side of the central corridor the fort’s ammunition magazines were situated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The northern forts had an approx. 10 meters wide moat lying like two flank graves and a throat pit. Slopes were bare, but the body of the fort was surrounded by a 1 \u00bd meter high concrete wall on which was mounted a high iron grid. The grid at Bagsvaerd Fort is the only one that exist today.<\/span> All the forts had a caponiere, from where the moats could be covered with flanking fire.
\nAt every \u00a0fort there was a glacis, from where an infantry defense could be established.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Upstairs the casemates the artillery floor was situated. All guns were mounted in armored turrets. The largest turrets wits 15 cm. guns might be rotated 360 degrees \u00a0but not raised and lowered. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some lighter turrets with eighter 15 cm guns or mitrailleuses was mounted in disapearing towers.
\nThese could turn 360 degrees, and also be raised or lowered \u00a0as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n
