Objects in Chapuis Park

The small stable on the site has a bare brick building on the ground floor with a half-timbered knee - stick from around 1880/90. There is also a wash house within the surrounding wall. This is formed by a single-storey plastered building with a knee stick. The outbuilding, a single-storey gable roof building with pointed arched windows, dates from around 1870.

The gardens and parks were designed in the late 19th century. There is a wooden garden pavilion in this complex. This post construction is adorned with lavish decorative sawing work. In front of the villa there is a cast iron fountain marked 1862. The southeast corner of the surrounding wall forms a corner tower known as the Chapui tower. This tower was built from stones from the medieval city ​​wall in 1842 in neo-Gothic style. In the 19th century, a wooden arcade was laid out along the surrounding wall .
