The holiday home of Hitler’s right-hand man has gone up for sale and is estimated to go for a staggering £13m.
The three-bed holiday home is located amid rolling sand dunes on Sylt, an island in Germany.
The property was once owned by Hermann Göring, Hitler’s deputy and head of the Luftwaffe, the official name for the Nazi German Air Force.

He was number two in the Nazi Reich from 1933 to 1945.
He moved into the thatched home in the summer of 1937 with his wife Emmy, an actress, and eventually his daughter Edda.
It was used as a holiday home for a family throughout the war before Göring was captured in 1945 and convicted of being a war criminal.
He was imprisoned in Nuremberg and given the death sentence, but committed suicide with a cyanide capsule in his cell hours before he was due to be executed in 1946.
The seaside home was held onto by his wife before being sold in 1958 to the Birkenstock family.
The shoemaker’s family spent their holidays there for 61 years until it was sold in 2019 for £10m.
It has since undergone extensive renovations and is now up for sale, as reported by Luxury Property News.
While the home’s listing doesn’t mention Göring, the site Bild states its history.
Historic details such as the original parquet flooring and a fireplace have been restored.
A heat pump and building services were also installed in the new basement.
The house is now for sale with Sotheby’s, offering three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sitting area, an office and a beautiful outdoor setting.
The ground floor is particularly impressive with a light-filled dining room and views of the dunes.
There is a modern, open-plan kitchen with access to a beautiful terrace and a spacious living room with a fireplace.
The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and the top floor houses two more stylish bedrooms with exclusive en-suite shower rooms and views directly out to sea.
The new basement offers space for modern building services and a practical laundry room.
Decorated with wood and sand accents, the home is the perfect spot for someone wishing to sit back, relax and admire the waves.
The listing reads: “Modern living under thatched roofs and a listed building in the first row to the North Sea.
“The location of this beautiful detached house impresses with a well-balanced blend of stunning scenery and authentic Sylt charm, mixed with the unmistakably salty Sylt sea air.
Built in 1937, the property has been lovingly renovated in recent years by a renowned architectural firm, taking into account the listed building regulations, and a partial basement has been added.
“All existing details shine in new splendor, while state-of-the-art building technology and exclusive interior design have transformed the house into a contemporary holiday home.”
Despite its dark past, the seaside home is estimated to sell for around £13,000,000.
