The ground floor is designed as a grotto . The fountain served as a source of recovery . The crenellated terrace had a ramp, which was originally connected to the no longer existing sun roof by an arcade . The front side of the Hessingburg , which faces the park, is characterized by various tin-tipped towers and turrets, while the back is extremely sober.
