Architectural Description+

The three-story building from the 16th/17th century has a seven-sided tower with a pyramidal roof at each end of the northeastern main facade. The towers feature sgraffito rustication on the edges. All windows have sgraffito frames. The chamfered ground floor windows on the courtyard side date from the beginning of the 16th century. On the first floor there are glazed pillar arcades.

The former chapel in the northern tower has stucco reliefs on the ceiling from the end of the 17th century, depicting the Evangelists, the Annunciation, and coats of arms. In the southern tower, an 18th-century wooden ceiling is preserved.
