Classical neo--Mannerist architecture favors round pillars and gables, and the external walls are mostly decorated with white false stone; it is relatively stately. Non-classical neo-Mannerist architecture includes Byzantine-style or the North European traditional brick construction; the outside is relatively complex, luxurious, and free-wheeling.
古典樣式建築崇尚圓柱、及三角形山頭，外壁多飾以白色假石，較典雅；非古典樣式建築則加入拜佔庭式圓頂或北歐傳統的磚造特徵，外貌較繁瑣、華麗，也較自由。
