Kurhaus Ahrenshoop

Kurhaus Ahrenshoop is a building on the Baltic Sea coast with large glass windows and multiple balconies that frame water views. The current structure houses a sizable wellness area with spa facilities and several dining venues that overlook the sea.

The building was established in 1891 by a Rostock entrepreneur and initially named after a Pomeranian ruler. It underwent several transformations across the 20th century before being completely rebuilt in 2010.

The name reflects the building's purpose as a spa establishment tied to coastal wellness traditions. Today, visitors experience this heritage through its seaside position and the way the structure frames views of the water.

The site sits right on the beach with ample parking for visitors and straightforward access. Inside, clear signage helps you navigate multiple levels, and elevators make it easy to move around the building.

The dining area in the earlier version earned the nickname 'Functionary Aquarium' because of its extensive glazing and sweeping sea views. The name came from how visitors felt on display while eating and enjoying the panorama.
