architecture

The three-story representative half-timbered house was built in 1562, to which a building inscription refers, in the style of the Lower Saxony half-timbered building. The richly decorated facade is particularly remarkable. Sun can be found up in the left hand on the right side Zwerchhaus in Lower Saxony decorative forms with fan rosettes and roll-shaped beam heads . The stick sleepers are decorated with ship throats , dew stick and wavy ribbon. On the building there is the inscription: The need taught to build the house. This resulted in stately comfort, but if the opulence were added it would be a sin. The basement was changed in the 20th century.

In a courtyard side attachment is a double-height reaching, with block steps provided spiral staircase .
