The most impressive part of the fort is the inner fort, formed by two semicircles with a central courtyard. The ground and first floors housed storage areas and troop rooms.

A dry moat runs around the inner fort, protected by the counterscarp with brick wall and wall openings on the side of the inner fort.

In the Fort 2 recreational area, sport, culture and heritage go hand in hand. The inner fort, the officers' building and the main front building are the bases of many Wommelgem associations.
