Thomas Mann

The German author Thomas Mann bought this house in 1930 and in subsequent years, he and his rather large family spent their summers here. You could easily understand why, standing there! Now the house is a museum. Nida was Nidden in German, by the way. At the time, you could see from family photos on display. there were less trees and the house stood more or less on the dunes.

The top picture shows the view and the others are of the house itself from the outside.
