The current building displays the most elaborated characteristics of late [[Medieval stronghold|medieval fortifications]]. This observation conveys the idea that the fort was built maybe by expert from [[Western Europe]] or [[Transylvanian]] people whom traveled in Western Europe and brought architectural ideas back in [[Moldova]] :
*The walls are not built straight but in a curved shape to resist better to projectile, so are the 4
*We can notice also round towers which allowed the defensors to shoot from better angles and thus protect the base of the walls.
The entire building has a diameter of 30 meters, 4 meters for the towers. Each tower has 4 level, the first two lower ones were used for artillery. The walls are 3 meters thick and we can find signs of a previous ditch. The main entrance tower had 3 doors, amongst them a portcullis which were closed during battles, thus the space saved at the upper level allowed garrison to pray in a small chapel.<ref>{{cite book|language= ro|last= BULAT|first= Nicolae |title= Județa Soroca, file de istorie|location= Chisinau|publisher= Editura ARC|year= 2000|isbn = 9975-61-139-7|pages= 22–23}}</ref>
