Revitalize A Timeless Frisian Farmhouse Heritage

Historic Frisian Farmhouse in Keitum – A Piece of Sylt’s History with Great Potential
In the heart of Keitum, the most traditional village on the island of Sylt, stands this historic Frisian farmhouse dating back to 1770. The house tells a story spanning over two and a half centuries and represents the island’s characteristic building culture: a thatched roof, solid walls, and a prime location within the village setting. The property is in need of renovation and offers future owners the rare opportunity to breathe new life into a heritage-worthy building according to their own vision and in coordination with monument preservation authorities. The building’s substance radiates incomparable charm—the traditional architecture with low ceilings, old beams, and historic floor plans largely is preserved.
