On these stones, the rubble stone mesh surrounded by bricks was terminated in the form of two rows of hedgehog eaves. The rubble wall on the hedgehog eaves was built later. There are loophole windows on this facade. The four-corner planned well in the barn was closed in the 1920s. There is a barn on the west side of the yard. The barn measures 21.5 x 8 and is 5 meters high up to the vault cover.
