Description
The Triumphal Arch, built in the Rococo style, serves as a grand gateway. It is constructed from stuccoed brick and features raised stucco quoins and banding. A rusticated arch spans the carriageway beneath a high pediment, which is adorned with two large scrolls that curve to a semi-circular top. In the center of the pediment, there is a round-headed niche topped with a shell cartouche, housing a classical female figure. Each pier flanking the arch is decorated with applied cartouches made of cast concrete. This archway provides an exit from the village and complements two other entrance gateways.
To the northwest of the arch is a single-storey service block with rendered walls and a mono-pitch roof made of corrugated iron. The block features three round-arched entrances, each with boarded doors and vertically-slatted upper sections. There is a small section of wall that steps down to the left, which includes a small road-arched entrance with a boarded door.
