description
The exact construction date of the house is not given, so that only the 18th century can be given as the construction period. The three-story building was built in the Georgian style . It consists of two elongated tracts that are connected to one another along the length. The building is entered through a door set in the middle of the front. This is decorated with blind pillars . On both sides of the entrance door, two-story lofts with flat lattice windows emerge. A large triplet window is installed above. On the second floor three twin windows are arranged symmetrically. Decorative stones frame the windows and are installed as bands along the edges of the building. The facades are plastered using the traditional Harling technique. Both parts of the building end with slate-covered gable roofs . To the west of the main building is a one-story residential building. Other outbuildings include a barn with a hipped roof to the west and a stable with a gable roof. To the north are two more barns, one of which has a hexagonal floor plan.
