The central section of the building is the oldest, from roughly 1590. Towards the end of the 1760s the section facing the south, to the left in the plan illustration, was added. It housed a living room on the first storey and a hall on the second. In 1870 the building was expanded towards the north. This annex was roughly the same size as the one in the south. Here there was a large bedroom and a kitchen, among other things.
