Architecture

The median risalit was originally tipped by a triangular pediment but it was removed in 1867 and replaced by the current three-bay wall dormer in 1895. The median risalit is divided horizontally by a cornice between the first and second floor. It originally ran along the full width of the building. The keystone above the gate features a carved coat of arms. [9]

The roof is a Mansard roof with black tile towards the street while it is clad with winged red tile towards the courtyard. The central three-bay wall dormer is flanked by two smaller dormer windows.

A four-storey, six-bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building.
