The factory shed with ring oven has an elongated rectangular plan, transverse to the road, and has one floor under a gable roof with stone tiles. A tour with a pent roof surrounds the warehouse. The shed is built of brick, laid in cross bond. Long side walls, partly at an oblique angle, in which the round-arched entrance, exit and air supply openings of the ring oven are arranged at regular intervals. These openings have a decorative frame. Also in the long facade sides, under the roof overhang and above the pent roofs, are series of small window openings that provide light into the attic floor above the oven. In the gable on the street side there are a number of round-arched window frames with decorative brickwork in the fillers. A rectangular window opening is centrally located in the gable at the rear. In addition, under a steel lintel, a breakthrough in the facade, through which the space above the ring oven can be reached via a ramp. The FACTORY CHIMNEY on the southeast side behind the factory is reinforced with iron bands and bears the inscription "St.Joseph" in yellow brick.
The ring oven has a closed elliptical shape and consists of an elongated brick barrel vault, largely vitrified as a result of the oven heat, on which round-arched entrances and air supply openings have been made on the long outside sides. On the inside, the oven has small round-arched oven mouths at regular intervals.
The ring kiln of the St. Joseph brick factory in Daniken is of great cultural-historical value as a special expression of a socio-economic, technical and typological development in the coarse ceramic industry. From an architectural-historical point of view, the ring kiln is important for the history of construction technology. The ring kiln is significant because of its high location on the plateau slope by Dutch standards, has a historical-spatial relationship with the soil conditions on site and is important for the appearance of the region. The ring kiln has been neatly preserved and therefore has a high structural, typological and functional rarity value.
