description
The building was erected acentrically in 1847 on a square lot. It has two floors and ends with a slate-covered gable roof . Above the entrance door there is a small canopy which is supported by two pillars. The construction corresponds to the traditional, local style, with the facade being plastered using the Harling technique. At the rear there is a wing facing north. In 1914 it was decided to connect the building on the outskirts to the water and sewage system. In April 2012, an application for structural changes was granted. This included the approval to convert the one-story outbuilding into a holiday apartment as well as the construction of a detached garage.
