description
The classicist residential building facing the street, with seven window axes and an only slightly protruding central projectile with a triangular gable with three stepped round arched windows, is structured by horizontal plastering joints and a cornice that closes the basement and a console cornice under the eaves. The romantic Rhine castle architecture of the 19th century is reflected in a sleek square tower with battlements crowned and arched frieze below the tower top. Two narrow arched windows in each of the tower floors underline the defensive look of the tower, which continues at the gate to the four-sided farm buildings that adjoin to the rear . These and the tower have exposed brickwork.
