The laying of the foundation stone of the reception building in 1888 enabled it to open the following year. In 1908 it was extended and, according to the press at the time, was "... in a pleasant, Gothic style, perfectly suited to the idyllic bathing conditions". A waiting room and another outbuilding with exposed timber framing were part of the complex. The facades were clad in two-tone bricks, and the roofs and dormers were richly decorated. A curved wooden staircase leads to the two upper floors. The preserved two-storey reception building, which has been listed since 1987, has since been plastered and the decorative elements largely removed. The building, which had become run-down in the meantime, was renovated by the new owner along with other architecturally insignificant outbuildings. The reception building houses a restaurant, which is also the venue for the Waldbühne cabaret theater. The furnishings that have been preserved include the ticket office, a wooden waiting bench and the original entrance door.
