Two single 21 cm howitzer turrets, Grüsonwerke/Krupp
One double 15 cm gun turret, Creusot/Van de Kerkhove
Two double 12 cm gun turrets, Châtillon-Commentry/Krupp
Four single 57mm gun turrets, Grusonwerke
One observation turret with a searchlight
Nine rapid-fire 57mm Nordenfeld guns in casemates for the defense of the ditches and the postern
The large weapons were all German products, made by Krupp in Essen, but the armor was by Cockerill (Belgium), Ateliers de Creusot (France) or Grüson (Germany).
The fort was provided with signal lights to permit communication with the neighboring Fort de Lantin and Fort de Hollogne.
The guns were fired using black powder rather than smokeless powder, producing choking gas in the confined firing spaces that spread throughout the fort.
