About Us

As a large Viennese family, we fell in love with the North Sea during our several years in Hamburg. So much so that we and our five children had to save one of the most beautiful houses on the Eiderstedt peninsula from decay and lovingly renovate it. In this way, we created a lasting anchor in the north.

Our children always joke that we are most interested in houses without roofs – and that's how it turned out... The old Frisian longhouse with a leaky thatched roof was damp, musty and furnished in 1980s style when we discovered it in 2017. The former vicarage was built around 1780 in a park-like garden with extensive grafts (ponds) on a mound (a manually constructed hill on which houses were protected from storm surges).

It is located in the heart of the Eiderstedt peninsula, in the centre of the romantic picture-book village of Tetenbüll, which is unique with its majestic St. Anna Church, the historic merchant's shop in Haus Peters and the listed ensemble along the Dörpstraat. Yet no one else recognised the value of this unique structure in the centre of Tetenbüll.

In 2018, we renovated the old thatched house – accompanied and awarded by the monument protection authority – as a private North Sea hideaway from the ground up, meticulously and carefully, and furnished it to the highest quality with many personal details.
