The structure consists of distinct and separate parts, all connected by covered passages and tested for durability, forming a vast and formidable defensive complex that raised serious concerns within the Austrian general staff even before it was completed. The components of the fortress can be distinguished as follows:
- a position for long-range combat, the actual armored battery;
- a position for close combat, made of concrete;
- a barracks block used for accommodations, services, and storage, along with a forecourt, an underground magazine, and a laboratory for the preparation of shells and charges;
- a perimeter trench, which at the throat front assumed the appearance of a true moat with vertical walls, while at the main front and on the right side it presented itself as a semi-trench with sloping walls and vertical counter-scarp. On the left side, the excavation, made impossible by the steep slope of the terrain that dropped towards the valley floor, was replaced by a lattice barrier.
