The windows of the main floor have a straight Fensterverdachung on consoles . The space between the windows is filled by rectangular plaster field frames. A continuous cornice and protruding parapets emphasize the horizontal line. The windows on the upper floor appear simpler despite a gable roofing, plastering fins with keystone and parapet field framing. In the driveway, pilasters support a barrel vault with straps. A column staircase with wrought iron grille leads to the bel étage with four state rooms in neo-rococo style.
