Medieval building dating back to the eleventh or twelfth centuries, built as tower-house, with the masonry still visible, characterized by square blocks on the first two floors and a simple brick material on the third floor. The openings are rather small and have an interesting variety of architectural solutions.
On the ground floor there are two strong arches (now buffered), probably part of an original porch.
The first floor has three portal-windows which originally enlightened a balcony: two have an arched roof, while the third one on the right has a typical pentagonal lintel (recurring element of the oldest towers since it allowed a greater width of the openings compared to a rectangular lintel due to better weight distribution).
The two openings on the second floor are similar to those of the first, surmounted by arches. Even in the inner courtyard are visible traces of the building.
