The post office building is richly decorated, in accordance with the guidelines of the neo-Gothic style.

The entrance doors, both northern and southern, are topped with portals. Numerous plastered blinds imitate stained glass windows; some are covered with sgraffito decorations with plant and geometric motifs (southern and western facades).

The large recess in the southern façade was originally a window overlooking the church plot, but due to the pastor's objection, it was built over. The whole thing is covered with plant ornaments.

In many places, including: two colors of glazed bricks were used in window frames (red and green).

The windows on the first floor are decorated with tracery decorations - ogival arches with a trefoil and a rosette with a quatrefoil.

The facades are interrupted by several parallel rows of friezes. Above the ground floor windows there are arcade friezes, above the first floor windows there are floral friezes, above the second floor windows there are rhomboid and dentate friezes, and above the portals there are diamond friezes.
