The fort has an asymmetrical quadrangular structure, its right wing almost repeating the typical 1879. example of a Russian fort project. The left wing of the fort has been simplified by stretching the defensive positions of the facade and flank into one line. The fort is equipped with barracks, a capital traverse with a pottery, five ammunition depots, and two rifle galleries. The facades and flanks of the fort are surrounded by a defensive ditch with a counter-cut wall. There is no rear escalator wall. The ditch is flanked by two capons and one half captain. The feature of Fort VII is four casemates for cannons, built under a fosebria traverse. Later, the fort buildings were supplemented by wooden houses for officers, company commanders, gendarmes and a warehouse for cannon platforms, built next to the fort. The fort is equipped with a drainage system, 4 water wells have been dug. The fort was never modernized (apart from the addition of an extra layer of soil to heavy artillery barbets in the 20th century to accommodate anti-storm artillery, and during the mobilization period, i.e. the outbreak of World War I, three small concrete observatories were built on the artillery embankment). Fort VII differs from other fortresses of Kaunas Fortress in that it does not contain all the elements characteristic of a classical fort - this fort is equipped with smaller barracks than other forts, abandoned pottery over the entire capital (up to the capon) and there is no half-captain in the left wing. As in other forts of the first stage of construction, the positions of infantry and artillery on the flanks of the fort were swapped.

šventėm vaiko gimtadienį, vaikams patiko, nes erdvu, daug vietos lakstyti, buvo užsiimta su vaikais... aplinka nuvylė labai... trūksta higienos, pasenusi visa jų virtuvėlė, arbatinukai kalkėti ir jau atgyvenę, stalo įrankiai ir lėkštės nešvarios, teko viską patiems persivalyti... ieškant normalaus peilio, perėjus per visas spinteles rasta daug sutrinų ir limpančių įrankių, kurie matyt nejudinti metus laiko... perbraukus stalo paviršių su skuduriuku šviesiu, visas skuduriukas liko rudas... tualetų yra daug, bet visi baisūs, net šlykštu kur prisiliesti... vienam iš tualetų buvo visur pritaškyta skutimosi putų, ant grindų, kriauklių ir t.t. panaudotas tualetinis mėtėsi ant grindų... tualeto kraštai šū.... muziejaus erdvėse buvo mini virtuvėlė, joje taip pat kalnas nešvarių įrankių, lentelė su obuolio lupenom sudžiūvusiomis ir t.t... patalpose šalta, lyg bandyta šildyti, bet nesigavo...
