Turmvilla Werder - Historic vacation home with a garden, views of the Havel River, and a swimming pier

Turmvilla Werder (Havel) – Historic Vacation Home with Water Views, Garden, and Sauna

The Turmvilla is a unique, historically protected building in the Art Deco style, situated on a spacious waterfront property in Werder (Havel). Originally built in the 1920s as a school camp for Berlin’s Grunewald Gymnasium, the villa continues to impress today with its spacious rooms, light-filled spaces, and an unparalleled view of the Havel River.

Today, the Turmvilla houses three individually designed apartments, each offering its own unique character and modern living comfort. The villa combines historic architecture with contemporary design, creating an extraordinary retreat for couples, families, friends, or small groups.

Apartments in the Turmvilla

Each of the three apartments has a separate entrance and offers:

Open living areas with large windows and views of the Havel

Fully equipped kitchens for cozy meals

High-quality beds and comfortable sleeping arrangements

Modern bathrooms with a bathtub or shower

Private terrace or balcony, some with water views

Whether booked individually or together – the Tower Villa offers privacy while also providing the opportunity to enjoy time together in the garden or by the water.

Nature, garden, and swimming dock

The villa is situated on a 7,000 m² property that slopes gently down to the Havel River. Highlights of the property:
