Description

Situated on raised ground, a 19th century farmstead dating partly constructed in half-timbering around an inner courtyard, with an upper storey at the residential section and under gabled roofs covered with blue, grey and red Dutch tiles.

On the SW side the residential section (ridge parallel to street), its half-timbered elevations clad circa 1930 with fair-faced brickwork clamping; in the SW elevation on the ground floor and upper storey three arched windows with T-windows and hardstone window sills and corner and closing stones in the stretches.

At right angles to this adjoining on the NW side a barn constructed in fair-faced brickwork (ridge perpendicular to street) with high divided doors in the SE elevation.

At right angles to this barn a barn connected to it by a covered passage adjoining on the NE side constructed in half-timbering, brick and marl (ridge parallel to street), whitewashed with black plinth; the half-timbering has largely brick-filled panels and shows the fairly exceptional construction with fan-shaped braces.

On the NE side a low open barn and a former, largely half-timbered bakehouse (both: ridge perpendicular to street).

Because of the main form, the construction, the modest window openings and the location, a good and representative example of a partially half-timbered 19th century closed Limburgian farmstead and as such of significance from the point of view of archaeological and ethnological value.
