Historic Sluice at Greetsiel

Highlight • Monument

Greetsiel is a beautiful, small town and part of the municipality of Krummhörn. There are a lot of older houses. The harbor with its shrimp cutters is particularly worth seeing. In the season, however, Greetsiel is very busy.

The High House, Greetsiel

Highlight • Historical Site

It is closely related to the historical development of the place. The guest finds the year 1696 on the gable end of the building. This is the year in which the high house received its current dimension.
At the end of the 17th century, at the beginning of the 18th century, "Gret-Syhl" still consisted of a few buildings. The administrative buildings of the county were grouped around the central castle of the imperial count Cirksena.

Greetsiel Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

The picture-book village Greetsiel in East Frisia is a wonderful travel destination for a vacation on the North Sea in Germany. Stroll through cobblestone streets past idyllic brick houses to the harbor. East Friesland's largest fleet of shrimp cutters is located here. With a little luck you can watch the fishermen unloading.
