The garden grounds have been known since 1500. The bourgeois "little castle" from around 1700 is now unfortunately framed by the buildings of the Hallerwiese Clinic. It is a particularly important example of Nuremberg garden culture, concealing remarkable courtyard architecture. However, this must first be discovered: The rear of the building is only accessible via an internal street from St. Johannis-Mühlgasse 19 to the patient garden of the Hallerwiese Clinic. From the street, the house, despite its stately appearance, seems quite simple: a nine-bay facade with a gentle bend between the seventh and eighth window bays. The elevated street level makes the building appear somewhat squat. A passageway is axially aligned with the dormer window in the roof. From a bird's-eye view, the U-shaped property, with its three wings surrounding a courtyard, is separated from the garden by a curved wrought-iron gate. On the upper floor, wooden galleries supported by corbels, fully glazed, are accessed through two doors in the central, oriel-like polygon. The curved, not entirely symmetrical staircases form a horseshoe. This form was invented by Ducerceau in 1632 at the Cour du Cheval Blanc in the Château de Fontainebleau. The corresponding technical term is "symmetrical staircase with two curved flights." The property had its own well for water supply.

In the garden, four depictions of the seasons surround an oval fountain basin.
