Roter Haubarg, Historical farm building in Witzwort, Germany
Roter Haubarg is a rectangular farmhouse in Witzwort with a white facade and thatched roof. The structure stands about 17 meters tall, features 99 windows, and is supported by eight large pillars.
The farmhouse was constructed between 1647 and 1648 as a solid residential building. Its name Roter Haubarg came later in 1749 when land reclamation projects were reshaping the surrounding area.
The building houses a museum that displays how farming shaped life in the Eiderstedt region over centuries. Visitors can see how people worked the land and organized their daily routines here.
The farm building is open daily from 11:00 to 21:00 except Mondays. Visitors can enjoy a restaurant, cafe, and terrace while spending time at the location.
During renovations in the 1980s, workers uncovered two buried cellars beneath the building. These discoveries suggest an earlier structure may have once occupied this same spot.
