It is two-storied and the windows are covered by dark probably wooden blinds. Above the second story under the roof ornaments showing grapes and children, probably angles. A lion head is at the top under the roof. In front of the building a couple of smaller trees and a big one as well as two benches probably made of concrete on each side of the way leading to the wine cellar. Behind the bench to the right a pond. Written on the image: "Weinkeller der Farm." 1499." (Wine cellar of the farm. 1499.").
