L'angle sud-ouest porte une tourelle cylindrique de quatre étages, en encorbellement sur cul de lampe. L'intérieur a été modernisé. L'édifice qui servit d'auditoire royal et de maison commune fut abandonné aux démolisseurs après l'installation du palais de justice à son emplacement actuel, vers 1835. Il se trouvait en partie sous les communs actuels et se continuait vers la place de l'église.

Hotel consisting of two adjoining bodies of building with gables furnished with crockets. It is built above a cellar forming the ground floor. The south-west angle bears a cylindrical turret of four storeys, corbelled out on a corbel. The interior has been modernised. The building which served as royal audience hall and common house was abandoned to the demolishers after the installation of the courthouse at its present location, around 1835. It was found in part beneath the present outbuildings and continued towards the place de l'église.
