They plastered and decorated with frescoes, which mimics the crumbling stonework, which top ends by a structure made of logs and planks. Somewhere in the middle of the height of the tower painted tall Windows. Painting the walls peel tower belongs to the hand of the artist-designer P. Gonzago. The tower is a structure consisting of two floors with a wooden staircase inside the railing which is made in the form of fancy perelevayuschimsya trunks of trees.

In 1807 wooden staircase was replaced with a stone with metal railings, which, passing in a spiral from right to left led to the second floor. The tower is crowned by a high gabled roof covered with straw. This type of roof covering, as well as simulating some disrepair and negligence painting was created popular in the time the effect of the so-called romantic poverty".

The interior of the second floor of the pavilion featured a high degree of sophistication. Its ornamentation it was similar to the spectacular Grand salon with oak parquet on the floor and walls and ceiling sheathed "Alou Chinese with a white muslin" (because the former in 1833, the fabric was removed). The ceiling was decorated with oil-painted round canopy. Two small and one large soft sofas were embroidered with "different silk flowers" and "gold". Grey marble fireplace with two alabaster vases. Figures porcelain cupids under a glass cover on pedestals of black wood. Mahogany table with crystal inkwell. Above the door is an oval picture. The final chord of the interior was a small library.
