One of the finest and most daring architectural creations of Schlaun is the Erbdrostenhof in Münster. He was faced with the problem of adapting a corner site in a town. His solution was a barely projecting central block flanked by slightly curving wings running to tapered corners on Salzstrasse and Ringoldsgasse. The elegant and varied façade thus forms a triangular courtyard in front, enclosed by railings. The gate is set at the junction of the streets, and thus also the angle of the courtyard, right on the central axis of the mansion. Over the entrance hall is a two-storey galleried ceremonial hall.
The picture shows the courtyard façade.
