Architecture and history
The court complex emerged from a noble court of the Middle Ages . Today's buildings go back to 1597, according to an inscription above the portal. It refers to the monastery governor Christoph Vitzthum von Eckstedt and his wife Maria von Hagen.
The two-storey plastered building stretches along the eaves along the two streets. While the lower storey was built from quarry stone , the upper storey was constructed in half-timbered construction . Above the portal, which was designed around 1700 in the Baroque style , there are coats of arms stones in addition to the year. In the time around 1780 a renovation took place, at the same time the western wing of the building was erected. Here, too, the basement is massive and the upper floor is half-timbered, with the compartments lined with bricks. The gable of the house is clad with slate.
