Milch & Limonade Quartier Westküste

Milch & Limonade Quartier Westküste

This historic townhouse in Garding on the Eiderstedt peninsula, Schleswig-Holstein once housed a shop for milk and lemonade. Transformed into a light-flooded holiday townhouse, not only the name but also the dominant white colour palette recalls its former use. Dating back to 1780 and located near the church in an old town lane, the house has been furnished with new interiors: a new house has been placed within old walls.
