Villa Erika

Summer resort by the sea. Half-timbering, charming loggias and balconies, wood-panelled walls, a bay window with a sea view here, a sunny conservatory there. Villa Erika on the steep slope of the seaside resort of Göhren on the island of Rügen transports its visitors back to times gone by. Built as a summer residence, by the Wolgaster Aktiengesellschaft [Wolgast Corporation]in 1891, the style of the villa is distinctive both architecturally and historically. This is because it is one of the so-called Wolgast houses – transportable prefabricated houses made of American pitch pine wood, which were popular on the German Baltic coast at the end of the 19th century and from here were even shipped, disassembled into their individual parts, all over the world. Each one of them is unique and was individually planned and built.

In order to revive the distinguished historical character of the heritage listed building, the two-storey villa with extended roof was completely renovated. Today there is accommodation for up to ten guests on three floors for a holiday by the sea.

On the ground floor everyone gathers, sometimes around the cooking island in the kitchen, sometimes at the table in the dining area or for breakfast in the glassed-in conservatory. In the small living room, not only does the bay window provide a sea view, but the historical wall panelling is also impressive.

Next come the library and the TV room, because there are almost as many favourite spots as there are grains of sand on the beach. Under the roof there are five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Everything is kept simple and furnished with timeless furniture. From the large conservatory, you can walk directly into the park-like garden with its old trees before heating up the garden sauna. This is what one does in a seaside resort.
