He designed Star fort Tvrđa in Osijek (German: Esseg), in today's Croatia. Gosseau took over planning of the fort when construction was already under way.Gosseau had to tackle quite a few problems. He owed his renown to their solution which distinguished the Tvrđa as a specific ensemble from other fortifications of the time.
