The mausoleum is built of burnt bricks in a rectangular shape, the entrance is stepped, the entrance part is fortified. The base, which is square in plan, is covered with a floor parabolic dome resting on a drum under a cylindrical dome. The entrance part is determined by a narrow corridor, the inclined axis of which corresponds to the curved axis of the room, therefore the entrance of the mausoleum is located on the side (south-eastern) facade.

The transition from the square chamber to the circumference of the dome was carried out with the help of angular sails made of castings. It has four holes on the longitudinal and transverse axes.
