Remise am Mühlenberg - Vacation home with a large garden and a swimming dock on the Havel River

Historic holiday home with three unique apartments, a large garden, a swimming dock, and a nature-filled retreat on the Havel

The Remise is a unique historic building on the island of Werder (Havel)—a place that combines tranquility, nature, and history in a special way. Originally built in the 18th century as a barracks for disabled veterans and later expanded with a neoclassical south facade, the Remise is now a lovingly restored holiday home featuring three individually designed apartments. The house is situated at the highest point of the island, directly across from the old cemetery, nestled among centuries-old trees and surrounded by locally sourced, reused bricks that give the building its distinctive character.

With its blend of historic charm and modern living comfort, the Remise offers an exceptional retreat—ideal for couples, friends, families, or small groups seeking peace and quiet, wanting to enjoy nature, and yet still wanting to be well-connected.

Historic house with a special atmosphere

The Remise has been restored in such a way that its original character remains fully visible:

solid natural stoneand brick walls

high ceilings and generously sized windows

lovingly preserved architectural details

clean, understated modern design

This combination creates an atmosphere that is unparalleled in Werder. Each apartment is individually designed and has its own entrance as well as a terrace or balcony. This makes the house perfect for guests who are travelling together but still want to maintain their privacy.

Apartments in the Remise

The Remise comprises three independent, stylishly furnished apartments. Each apartment offers:

a fully equipped kitchen

high-quality beds

modern bathrooms

exclusive views of the garden or the Havel River

plenty of natural light and a clearly structured layout

The apartments can be rented individually or together. The entire building is therefore ideal for retreats, small celebrations, work stays, family holidays, or relaxing weekends by the water.

A 7,000 m² natural property on the Havel

Directly in front of the Remise lies an impressive, expansive property that slopes gently towards the Havel. On the grounds, you’ll find:

Large terraces & secluded spots

Amid old oak trees, apple trees, and natural meadows, there are several terraces, seating areas, and small spots to linger. The design follows the principle of “close to nature and peaceful”—it buzzes, rustles, and blooms. A landscape that invites you to linger, breathe, and slow down.

Meadows & Flowering Areas

The expansive flower meadows are deliberately not mowed entirely in order to preserve habitat for insects and birds. This creates an environment where body and mind find peace—ideal for guests who love nature and value eco-friendly design.

Path to the Havel

A narrow, romantically winding path leads directly from the house down to the water. There, the view opens up to the Havel River, the church in Geltow, and the surrounding countryside. The atmosphere here is especially magical in the morning and at sunset.

Private Swimming Dock – A Holiday Right on the Water

The property’s private swimming dock is one of its highlights. It is located directly on the Havel River and offers:

direct access to the water

a place to sunbathe and relax

a stunning view of the water

a romanticevening atmosphere

For guests who enjoy swimming, paddling, reading, or simply dangling their feet in the water, the dock is a retreat that makes their stay truly special.

Sauna right on the water (starting in mid-December 2025)

Starting in December 2025, the property will feature another highlight: a sauna right by the dock.
This special location creates a unique experience:

Warmth, silence, and a view of the Havel

steam rising in the winter air

the opportunity to step into the Havel right after the sauna
