The construction of the fortifications of the new Tronzund position was supervised by Rear Admiral A.A. Zorin. The redoubt in the plan has a shape of an irregular pentagon. Its three batteries were designed to accommodate up to 30 guns capable of shelling the Trongsund Strait and the land approaches to the redoubt.
The picture shows the walled-up entrance to the powder magazine in the fortress rampart.
