Description

Description

COACH HOUSE. On the east side of the lower courtyard stands as a counterpart to the storage building an 18th-century coach house (second half of the 18th century). The whitewashed brick building erected on a rectangular ground plan with marl corner stones consists of two storeys beneath a half-hipped roof covered with slate with owl boards at the front. The front facade at the courtyard side has two elliptical-arch openings with hardstone imposte stones and keystones. Windows on the ground floor are slightly loopholed in hardstone moulding; rectangular windows on the upper storey. The gable ends have at the top two bulls-eyes; the south facade is otherwise executed blind, the north facade has three windows on the ground floor.

In the INTERIOR are of importance among other things: the stalls with brick groin vaults on elliptical arch ribs on square brick pillars. The building is reinforced with four brick tie beams.
