Especially in summer the garden is beautiful. For children, it is certainly exciting to see how one used to live like this. But even in winter, when peace is on the island, worth a walk here.

"The parish widow's house was built from wood and clay in 1719 - 1720 and is currently one of the oldest preserved houses on Rügen.
After the pastor Johannes Cadow died in 1718 and a woman with 4 children had to leave the parsonage, the Danish provincial government based in Stralsund commissioned the governor John from Bergen to build a parish widow's house in Groß Zicker. In 1720 the widow was able to move into the house with her 4 children.
The last parish widow -Sophia Vahl- lived in the parish widow's house from 1782 - 1810. From 1811 - 1830 the house served as a school and until 1984 it was a residential house. In 1984 the last resident of the house, Anna Glutsch, moved out of the parish widow's house after her ancestors had lived in this house for over 4 generations. The high, pointed straw or reed roof, the so-called »Sugar Loaf«. When looking at it, the visitor notices that this house has no chimney. It is a so-called rare "Rookhus" - the Low German term for a smoke house. The smoke from the stove used to escape through the large entrance gate and through the small opening in the roof ridge - the owl hole. A second "Rookhus" awaits you in the Baltic Sea resort of Göhren." Source: ruegenmagic.de/Museen-Ruegen/pfarrwitwenhaus-gross-zicker.htm
