The large palace complex appears largely to be a work of historicism. The two-storey long wing has 23 window axes. The old palace was extended, and an extension was added to the west, which is closed off by narrow, battlemented corner towers. On the street side, a protruding round tower with an onion dome separates the old and new buildings. On the old building, the coat of arms of the Stein von Altenstein announces the completion of construction in 1743. The west side is decorated with a rich gable panel in Renaissance forms and a stone balcony on massive consoles above the main portal. On the park side, a decorative gable and a strong tower with a hipped roof enliven the new building. A sober functional building was added to the east a few decades ago.The interior has been largely changed by later conversions. The approximately three-hectare park was primarily used as a place for the residents to relax.Source:
