The structure features an eastern entrance with a rounded arch and coat of arms, supplemented by multiple square windows, arrow slits, and a defensive balcony. The south facade displays three windows of varying architectural styles, including an ogival arch and rounded apertures. corbels supporting a wooden platform top suggest additional upper-level defenses.
