Facade
The entire facade is constructed of ashlar masonry. A dormer window dating from the time of construction is located almost in the center. The pointed dormers were added at the beginning of the 17th century and were restored in 1966 and 1990. The windows of the first floor differ from their medieval state; they were staggered from both sides towards the central window and each had a central mullion. The house is an important relic of secular Gothic architecture.
