History[]

Architecture[]
The three-story house with an almost square ground plan is located in the middle of a park at the end of an avenue and was built in the style of a small Lustschloss. The façade of the house is structured by -framed segmental arches. On top of the steep gambrel sits a push-up spire with an octagonal turret. The entrance is reached by a central double-flight staircase.[2]
