architecture

Front view

The one-story quarry stone house stands on a high basement. The floor plan is clearly divided. A three-axis central projection with a lavish sandstone portal divides the facade. Two lions hold a cartridge with the double coat of arms of the Meschede-Bruch family. There is a round window in the triangular gable made of sandstone blocks. An outside staircase leads to the portal with a spacious platform under which the basement entrance is. There is a large cistern in the basement to collect rainwater. The original wooden eaves were removed when the roof was renewed. To the east and west of the house there are cow and horse stables. A sandstone with the family's coat of arms and the year 1746 was attached to the horse stable .
