    The Seebüll residential and studio house, designed by Emil Nolde himself, is an outstanding modernist artist's house.
    The almost sixty-year-old Emil Nolde was at the height of his fame when he was looking for a new home in the 1920s. He put out feelers as far as Hamburg and finally found his new home in Seebüll within sight of his father's farm. In Seebüll, the Nolde couple designed their "magic home": the architecture was based on his designs, the garden was based on joint ideas, the interior was partly designed by him and partly made by both of them. This resulted in a total work of art in which the couple lived together for twenty years until Ada's death in 1946, where he also died in 1956 and where the two found eternal rest next to each other.


    With its straight lines, the building is reminiscent of the Bauhaus architecture of the 1920s. Nolde deliberately chose the architectural contrast to the thatched Frisian farms in the area: the red brick building with the narrow windows and flat roof stands on a mound and rises confidently from the flat landscape.

    The originally furnished living rooms on the ground floor can be viewed. In the studio, the nine-part main work "The Life of Christ" (1911/12) is impressive. In the legendary picture room, which was built in 1937, the paintings can be seen in the historical presentation. From 2020 to 2022, the Nolde House was renovated in accordance with monument protection and technically upgraded. For the first time, the historic studio will be accessible without steps; with the 67th annual exhibition in 2023, art will return to the Nolde House.
