| Architect(s) | Ludwig Hofmann (Architekt) 1862-1933 |
The manor house, the outbuildings, and the garden are designed by the Herborner architect Ludwig Hofmann (1862–1933), who in 1892 was appointed by Privy Councillor of Commerce Rudolf Haas, owner of the opposite located "Neuhoffnungshütte".[3] He was co-founder of the association of German “Eisenhüttenleute”, called today Steel Institute VDEh, and a member of the renominated Nassau Association of natural history. The “Neuhoffnungshütte” with its iron mines had from its Nassautic beginnings until the Second World War a high strategic importance; it was the economic basis for the metallic prosperity of this area. In 1978 Dr. Klaus F. Müller acquired the villa and park as a co-founder of German and European oral implantology; he used parts of the estate for practical laboratory and advanced training.[4]
To the style elements of the two-story, high-volume estate belong rich carved stone formations above the basement level, and window and gable motifs framed with sandstone, in German Renaissance Revival architecture style. The roof and gable formations with the bell tower look very picturesque. This total impression is strengthened by the superior stairtower with roof helmet, the mining symbol, and the stained glass with motifs of Rhine romanticism from Johann Heinrich Schilbach as well as the detailed facades. The artistic interior décor consists of beautiful stucco and woodwork of different historical styles. Also worth protecting components are the small Chinese pavilion (tea house) and the wrought iron main gate.[5]
These include a dumbwaiter (elevator), electrical night storage heaters, and a lobster tank with, at this time, new air supply. The old mechanical tower clock was developed and constructed by Perrot (Calw). Later the clock gets a rare electro-mechanical addition. It combines chime works and winches with two electric motors. The mechanical circuit is steered by a mercury switch. The power transmission is made by a vee belt and is still working today.

The Grade II listed garden area contains, besides rare plants, shrubs, and trees, many stylistic elements of the historical park, like the ruin with the ice-house, the cave, the arcades, the pond, the rondell, the fountains, the cherubs, etc. The Chinese pavilion teahouse and the former pavilion which was located at the Dill (river) cliffs is going back to an idea of the German former colonial officer Retzlaff [6][7] in Qingdao. The allusions to a horse path closed in the English style landscape garden are only rudimentarily available. The park is one of the few preserved recreations of historicism (art) and contains over one hundred different plant species. It is part of the territory Beilstein / Hörre, which was described by Johann Daniel Leers in his book "Flora Herbornensis" [8] in the biodiversity with exact locations in 1775. These listings are according to Karl Löber "of unsurpassed precision and enable still today an effortless verification" (Quote translated from German).[9][10]
