architecture

The caretaker's house, which belongs to the Catholic primary school in Pesch, has two floors and is a brick building in Gothic style, built between 1885 and 1890, right next to the street.

Accentuated on all sides by triangular gables that step in front of the facade like a risalit and have different details . Uniform arched windows, round arched only in the gable fields, open the sides of the building, each of which is divided into three axes, which is supported by a windowed basement plinth. The horizontal division is made by basement, sill and cranked cornices.

The ground floor and upper floor of the street front are also separated by a frieze zone with stylized diamond fields made of lighter shaped bricks, which is enclosed between the floor and the windowsill cornice . Two pilaster strips spanning across floors frame the right, gable-exaggerated outer yoke , which delimits the gable top with a frieze strip of varying design. A raised wall strip with a console frieze closes the left building section.

The largely closed right side front shows in the central axis accentuated by the stepped gable , the door niche accessible through a two-flight staircase. Above that, on the upper floor, a single window, likewise framed by pilaster-like wall templates, with a parapet frieze (analogous to the street front).

Below the gable roof , the facade finish is designed according to the street side. The rear front is marked by the staircase risalit exposed on the left, which is opened on the ground floor by a segmented arched door with two small flanking windows. In the middle above, set off by frieze strips and sill cornice, a window opening followed by a dazzling ox-eye . The upper end of the facade is analogous to that of the other two sides (the frieze strips of the risalit vary).
