Around the middle of the 18th century the manor house of the local manor was made of wood. The single-storey house is reminiscent of a peasant building, but details indicate an aristocratic ownership. It shows baroque features. The jacket chimney and two baroque tiled stoves are historic. In addition to the main house, some outbuildings have been preserved.
