This is a special building in Renaissance style, with a touch of baroque.

Unusual is the pair of bell-shaped gables (4 next to one another), with the spire in the middle. Under the baroque gable there is a simple front and a small galery, formed from an chain of semi-circular arches above the Renaissance pillars. Notice also the simple cross-bar frames at the entresol , from which the horizontal axis continues into the mouldings on the wall.
