In 1783, the Hexenburg was noted for the first time on the mile sheet and electoral maps. The castle-like farmstead was built over a horseshoe-shaped and connected cellar complex with vaults that may have come from different construction phases. The structure was designed with 12 gates, 52 doors and 365 windows, which correspond to the months, weeks and days of a calendar year. The naturalization of the name “Hexenburg” can be explained by strange signs and stone carvings on the outer facade that indicate Masonic influences.

Four-wing system around a square inner courtyard, of importance in terms of building history, local history and technology history. Large vaulted cellar, possibly still an old oven in the cellar, later used as a brewery, name "Hexenburg" because there were twelve gates, 52 doors, 365 windows, built by Karl Gottlieb Wustmann, inscription panels or relief panels (weathered) on the sloping corners of the corner buildings , Arched windows framed with clinker bricks, a brick chimney on a corner building, a rectangular building used as a stable.
