Its spacious rectangular courtyard is surrounded by rows of cells (rooms). The rooms are covered with “Balkhi”-style domes, and their entrances are simple and arched. In three corners of the courtyard, five-arched porticoes have been constructed; each of them has a corridor leading to the three main rooms of the monument.
The façade of the building features a central portal (pishtaq) with staircases on both sides, which were used to access the roof. The composition of the madrasa’s façade does not strictly follow traditional architectural principles: the large portal appears disproportionate to the surrounding wall, and the corner towers on both sides lack decorative ornamentation.
The right wing of the building is occupied by a mosque with a front iwan, while the left wing consists of four rooms of varying sizes. This madrasa does not include a dedicated classroom and is not ornamentally decorated.
The Kuhneh Madraseh is protected as a state historical monument.
