Architecture and history
The two-storey baroque cavalier's house , built between 1709 and 1725, is the head building of a rectangular courtyard. The cavalier's house was temporarily used for hunting ; it was not designed as a representative palace , but as a functional building and the center of the Bessung hunting lodge.
With the western quarry stone wall and the retaining wall extending on both sides , the building is designed to work from a distance. The broad, seven-axis structure has a symmetrical, two-axis central projection . The basement is designed as a vaulted cellar with a crawl space above . Above the massive soapstone base there are half-timbered walls (with the exception of the western building wall) . A special constructive feature is an approx. Five cm thick brick ceiling that clad the half-timbered structure, is connected to the wall lining and is fastened with hand-forged nails. The top floor and the top ground are as beaver tail decked gambrel with collar beam truss formed. The building with a plastered facade is accessed via a representative two-flight flight of stairs .
The interior of the building is simple.
