Wide walls of the ancient building are stone, plastered with revetment of separate lots by bricks, the later building - the first floor over the northern part - is made of plaster blocks (the XX century). Semicircular vaults have remained in some lodgements. The western elevation is enriched by 6-column porticos of the Tuscan order on a high socle, built on in the middle of the XIX century in the Classicism style.
