The gabled, two-storey house was built between 1893 and 1894 by the Düsseldorf architects Klein & Dörschel for the painter Theodor Rocholl. It was built in the neo-Renaissance style and reflects the construction methods, forms and materials of rural architecture romanticizing country life through a round corner tower with a bell-shaped dome, bay windows, natural stone base, half-timbering, shutters and crippled hipped. Thus, the house also referred to the village structure of Golzheim, which still existed at that time.

In 1812, Alt St. Martin lost its function as the parish church of Bilk and was no longer used as a church for over a century.

The need for a new building arose from the demolition of the fortifications laid down in the peace treaty of Lunéville, to which the old gate fell victim.
