The Central Massif of Fort Lantin contains a number of turrets.

Two retractable turrets with 120 mm guns, and one retractable turret with two 150 mm guns. Furthermore, it had an armored affair for a 210 mm howitzer. The last turret (not visible through because of the plastic) is a retractable armored searchlight.

On the high sides of the glacis are at the corners 3 smaller collapsible turrets with 57 mm cannons
