Palais Brut

From the outside, the GDR prefabricated building on the edge of Märkische Schweiz faces up to its past without embellishment; inside, it breaks up old structures and surprises with two bright, airy holiday homes.

On the quiet outskirts of the small town of Müncheberg, surrounded by slender trees and the wide fields of Brandenburg, lies the Palais Brut – a semi-detached house built in 1990. The building, which was constructed as a prefabricated building in the typical and now apparently unpopular “WBS 70” system, was deliberately not demolished and replaced by a new building.

At first glance, the compact and solid building uncompromisingly reflects its history, while inside, walls and ceiling areas had to make way for additional window openings, giving the interiors a different spatial effect with more light and bright, cheerful colours. In harmonious combination with the patina of the house, which is occasionally highlighted. A new spatial structure is revealed as the once identical semi-detached houses have been transformed into two modern holiday units of different sizes with unobstructed views over the huge garden and fields.

The large 130 m2 apartment “Duplex” has a fully equipped kitchen, an open-plan living and dining area, three double bedrooms, a gallery level with a daybed and two bathrooms. A total of up to ten sleeping places are available for guests with children. The smaller 55 m2 “Studio” is particularly suitable for couples. Each unit has its own terrace with seating and dining areas, extending the holiday space outdoors.

There is an additional sauna house in the extensive garden that can be used by all guests, preferably by prior arrangement. If you want to discover the natural treasures of the region, all you have to do is visit the Palais Brut basement, where a beekeeping friend offers insights into honey production. Or the next-door Demeter farm “Apfeltraum”, which makes your holiday even more colourful with fruit, vegetables, markets and festivals.
