There is preserved decorative interior finish including sculpturesque ceiling figurations, tile stoves, hearths (one is made of cast-iron) mainly from the middle till second half of the 19th century and the original stairs (beginning of the 19th century, built in the time of first renovation works that were done by Von Wolf).
