The command tower was shaped like a lighthouse and thanks to its ideal location it was possible to locate enemy ships from up to 50 km. Many buildings that are part of the battery have survived to this day. In 2001, the renovation of the tower began, the armored dome in which the rangefinder was located was dismantled, and in its place an observation tower with a light skeleton structure was erected. The facility is located on the educational trail of the Fortification Trail of the Świnoujście Fortress.
