Architecture and history

The street-side two-story building of the property is plastered and runs along the street with nine axes. The front door is arranged in the middle. The eastern gable is slated. The building is covered with a half-hip roof . Overall, the building presents itself as a residential building in the classicism style from around 1800. In essence, however, the building is considerably older. The half-timbered parts go back to the 16th century, in particular a half-timbered ceiling with valleys . The stairwell is grouped around a Doric column. The original room layout was partly lost during renovations in 1997.

Originally existing, also listed, parts of the property were lost.

A barn was demolished as early as 1954. It was a two-story, twenty- bundle- wide multi-storey building with mortise locks , which were only located on the corner posts, presumably around 1700 . Four more mortise locks were arranged above the gate entrance. The barn is seen as a lost important building in Quedlinburg.

In addition, there was a two-storey commercial building that bordered the courtyard to the east and was regarded as one of the oldest preserved secular buildings in Quedlinburg. This building consisted of a ground floor made of quarry stones and a half-timbered upper floor. The basement may have been from the Middle Ages and had a room with a groin vault , which is believed to have originated in the 16th century. The building was demolished in 1997.

In the same year, a baroque courtyard wing connected to the house to the east was demolished. It was a half-timbered house whose compartments were provided with decorative brickwork. Some of the interior of the building still contained items of equipment from the construction period, especially the doors. The room layout was also original.

On the south and north sides of the courtyard there is a wall discovered during construction work in 1997, which goes back to the original fortification of Westendorf or a large fortified courtyard. The wall found on the northern boundary of the property, made of ashlars, is 1.10 thick and has two layers. The foot of the wall is 2.50 meters below today's terrain level. The wall was probably torn down and overturned on the outside before the 17th century.
