The facade of the building is decorated with beautiful paintings. Since 1929, the building has housed the city museum; there is a collection of antique furniture, silverware, ceramics, historical toys, paintings, sculptures, as well as a unique collection of 60 mechanical musical instruments from the Friedrich Wilhelm Kalina Collection.

The Cavazzo mansion is one of the most expressive burgher houses located on Lake Constance. The original building, erected in the Middle Ages, was destroyed by fire and a new baroque house designed by Jacob Gruberman was built in its place. The facades of the building are richly decorated with magnificent frescoes depicting Atlanteans, sphinxes and flower and fruit compositions. Now the city historical museum is located here.
