Thatched roof houses are a distinctive feature of the island of Sylt and give the village of Kampen in particular a distinctive charm. These traditional Frisian houses are covered with reeds, which not only gives them a distinctive look, but also provides excellent thermal insulation and protects them from the stormy North Sea winds.

Kampen, known as an exclusive and stylish destination, is home to many of these thatched roof houses. These houses are often designed in a classic Frisian style, characterized by white walls and large, often green shutters. They are not only an architectural highlight, but also an important part of the region's cultural heritage. The protection and preservation of these buildings is ensured by strict building regulations and restoration measures to preserve their historical and aesthetic significance.

The thatched roof houses in Kampen and other parts of Sylt such as Keitum and Archsum are often available as holiday homes or luxurious private apartments. These houses offer a cozy and authentic atmosphere and are very popular with tourists, which is why early booking is often necessary.

For visitors, a stroll through Kampen offers a wonderful opportunity to admire these beautiful houses and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the place. These houses are particularly impressive in the evening light, when the low sun bathes the thatched roofs in warm light.
