It was abandoned in 1914 and fell into disrepair soon thereafter. Considered a prospective National Monument in 1984[2] it was decided in 1989 not to list it. The fort was reconstructed in the 1990s and is now equipped to accommodate tourists. The palm trees at the fort were planted by the German police officers who manned the fort to combat weapons smuggling and elephant and rhino poaching.
Hendrik Gaobaeb, president of the United Democratic Front, was born in Sesfontein.[3]
