The Förthof is an extensive, four-winged complex around a trapezoidal courtyard. The core of the current complex dates from the second half of the 16th century. The property was first mentioned in a document in 1220 as Rapoto de Urfar. In 1380, Simon von Ips is named as the owner. From 1530, it was owned by the Aspern von Haag family and was subsequently extensively rebuilt. The three-story and six-axis west front features undercut window sills and remnants of ornamental paintings from the late 16th century. The two-story, round corner oriel in the southwest was later renovated. On the courtyard side, there are ground-floor arcades in the west. Individual rooms have cross-rib vaults.
