From the Buuren bastion, the advantage of the pentagonal shape of the Castle is evident. The range and angle of attack of the cannons on the bastions overlapped, thus providing an impenetrable wall of cannon fire in the event of an enemy attack.
The Castle formed part of a formidable defensive system at the Cape that discouraged attacks. It has never been attacked.
