Steinhaus, Stone building in Greetsiel, Germany.

The Steinhaus stands as a single-story brick construction featuring a three-room layout with a kitchen, hall, and entrance hall separated by interior walls.

Built between 1362 and 1388 by the Cirksena family, the structure served as a control point for the harbor before becoming their residence in Greetsiel.

The building contains restored green and yellow decorated Plaveuzen floors in the hall, representing traditional East Frisian architectural elements.

The Rural Academy Krummhörn-Hinte now manages the building as an office and event space, offering cultural activities since 2021.

During renovation works, workers discovered an original late Gothic sandstone fireplace in the garden, which was subsequently reinstalled in its initial position.
