The barn, built around 1800, served as a farm building until the post-war years of the 20th century. It was built in the style of early neoclassicism. It is best visible in a simple object, in geometric forms, semi-circular blends and windows.
The 9-axis façade is accentuated with three pseudorisalits with spacious, arcaded gates. They have double wooden doors, outlined at the top with a wavy line. The remaining part of the arcade is filled with a partition made of radially arranged boards.
Inside, there was a large single-space interior, accessible through three gates on two sides. After the adaptation in 2013, it was divided by a transverse half-timbered wall. Thanks to this, part of the large space was separated into the back room for the hall. Thanks to this, part of the large space was separated into the back room for the hall.
