Thomas Mann Memorial Museum

Overview

In the summer of 1929, Thomas Mann and his wife visited Nida for the first time. The novelist said they were “enraptured by the untold beauty and uniqueness of the local nature and the fantastic world of moving sand dunes” and thus quickly made the decision to have “a permanent home” here. The house of Thomas Mann was reconstructed to reflect the authentic one in 1995/1996 based on the remaining technical drawings of Architect H. Reissmann and the memories of Elisabeth Mann, the daughter of Thomas Mann.
