The heart of the site is a thatched, timber-framed hall house (Fachhallenhaus) built as a two-post farmhouse dating to 1798.

In addition the site has the house of a hireling (Heuerling or Häusling) originally from Fulde and about the same age, as well as a type of apiary, known locally as a Bienenzaun.

The main building was designed as a Low German house and its ground floor has the traditional division of living accommodation (Dönzen), an open kitchen (Flett) with a fireplace and a hall with livestock bays or stalls (Stallungen).

On the upper floor of the building is a Hans Brüggemann exhibition, depicting some of the history of the town of Walsrode and the Hermann Löns Room.

In the Löns Room are original objects and furniture belonging to the poet and author, as well as first editions of his works, autographs and publications.
