*Gulfhof van Senden - Rieke - Gulfhof van Senden - Rieke (ground floor/first floor) | Apartment in Krummhörn
2 Bedroom Apartment in Rysum, Krummhörn
The Site: As early as 1998, Rysum was named the most beautiful village in Lower Saxony. Surrounding the church—located at the highest point of this historic village built on a mound and home to one of the oldest playable organs in the world—are the former farmworkers’ and artisans’ houses, as well as large farmsteads, arranged in a circular pattern, creating the distinctive charm of this circular village.
On the outer ring of the village stands the Gulfhof, believed to have been built by Ufko Andreesen van Senden around 1890. In recent years, it has been extensively renovated with great attention to detail and in accordance with historic preservation standards, and converted into an exceptional vacation residence featuring 15 high-quality apartments.
Even during the renovation phase, the old building successfully withstood many adverse conditions—including wind, weather, and, above all, water—and now proudly shines in new splendor.
All apartments are duplexes and feature modern floor plans. By incorporating the historic post-and-beam framework into the interior design, the units also gain a special, distinctive character. Underfloor heating, solid wood parquet floors, and fixtures and ceramics from renowned manufacturers ensure a high level of living comfort. Each apartment includes a spacious terrace as well as a parking space with a storage shed. The outdoor areas of the approximately 4,000-square-meter property are characterized—particularly on the south and east sides—by generous green spaces that have been tastefully landscaped with shrubs and hedges. A grove of mature trees rounds out the overall picture.
The Gulfhof van Senden is the ideal starting point for a wide range of activities: hiking, biking, or kayaking in the Krummhörn region; cultural excursions to popular nearby towns such as Greetsiel, Pilsum, Norden/Norddeich, and Emden; or even day trips to the nearby East Frisian islands of Borkum, Norderney, and Juist. The somewhat secluded, little-known natural beach at the Knock is just a short bike ride away and is a special highlight.
