The building, made of exposed stone masonry, shows a tower that is supposed to be reminiscent of the castles from the Renaissance period. The original interior architecture, which still shows wall paintings and a wall with Gothic cladding, is remarkable . A stucco ceiling in the neo-renaissance style has been preserved there. So it says in the monument topography :

" [...] with the exposed stone masonry and the striking tower is a good example of Renaissance-style residential architecture. Original interior with wall paintings (coat of arms, tendrils), relief-like, e.g. T. Gothic wall paneling, paneled door leaves, carved banisters, neo-renaissance stucco ceiling. "
