Každá má rozšířený sokl, římsou oddělené patro, dvě černá okna nad sebou, rozšířený ochoz, valbovou střechu zakončenou dvěma makovicemi a na ochoze dvě nárožní věžičky, každá s černým oknem a stanovou střechou zakončenou makovicí, střechy modré, makovice zlaté. Mezi věžemi nízká stříbrná kvádrová zeď, na ní stříbrný korunovaný lev se zlatou zbrojí opírající se o pravou věž. Lví ocas ovíjí zezadu levou věž a jeho konec je prostrčen dolním oknem. | |||
