Paulsengården sits atop the hill overlooking the narrow cove in Langhamn. It is a beautiful and well-maintained Swiss-style (neo-gothic) house, built as a new residence at the trading post after the old one burned down in 1903. In front of the main building, there is a garden enclosed with a picket fence, and behind are two smaller, older houses in a simpler design.

The main house is characteristic of the Swiss style, with a fairly square floor plan, high foundation, large floor height, T-post windows, steep gable roof covered with slate, and large roof overhang. Another characteristic feature of this style is the decoration, often called "carpenter's joy." Paulsengården has a centrally prominent gable part as part of the main facade's composition, and decorated gables are also typical for the Swiss style.
Both the residence, outbuildings, and garden are well preserved.
