Architecture of antique furniture
In its original composition before the restoration after the damage suffered in World War II, the palace was made up of a main nucleus parallel to the Main river, of three heights finished off by a last floor under cover. This main body was flanked by two towers that had one more floor than the main body. On the faade opposite the river, the palace had two parallel wings arranged perpendicular to the main faade, forming a cour d'honneur.
The wings had a single floor and a floor below deck and were finished off at their final ends with two two-story pavilions and a floor below deck. The interior was richly decorated with antique furniture. The palace was characteristically painted white and had slate roofs.
At present, the structure is, in general lines, preserved.
