The main building, built on two floors on a rectangular area of around 25 × 8 meters, consists of a bricked ground floor and a partially slated half-timbered upper floor. The building with eleven to six window axes on the upper floor has an expansive hipped roof . The attic was not used for residential purposes. On the ground floor, which is entered through a house door added later in a classicistic style, a wide hallway leads to the former kitchen with cross vaults . Next to it, accessible through a late renaissance door, is the former cattle shed, above whose massive beamed ceiling there is a space up to the floor of the upper floor so that the stables smells could not get into the upper living rooms. A staircase leads from the cattle shed into the barrel vaults of the cellar, which are located deep below the courtyard level, and where the distillery and brewery were located. The brick-built brewing pan extractor with its characteristic hood still protrudes clearly above the hipped roof. The rest of the brewery equipment was removed in 1961.
The large courthouse, built around 1625, stood on the northern edge of the courtyard until 1977, the spacious vaulted cellar of which also served as a beer cellar. Upstairs was the courtroom with carved wooden pillars and headbands. The ceiling and the side walls had painted panels. One of the rooms that was partitioned off for the judge contained a baroque stucco ceiling. This building had to make way for a street widening. A half-timbered barn with a saddle roof and turret with an onion dome , located in the southeastern part of the property opposite the main building, fell victim to a fire in 1907 and had to be demolished.
