The palace, once the seat of the Biedermann family, is characterized by an eclectic architectural style, combining Baroque, classical and modernist elements. It consists of two two-story buildings connected by a connector. In its interior, several representative rooms have been preserved, along with partially original furnishings worth seeing.
