Living in a Former School Building in the Heart of Hillegersberg

A hidden gem in the historic village center of Hillegersberg: half of a characteristic school building (built in 1911/1928) situated on freehold land. With approximately 253 m² of living space, this remarkable property offers plenty of room and atmosphere. Once a school, it has been cleverly transformed into an inspiring home by an interior architect and structural engineer. The current owners, two photographers, have continued this vision and further shaped the property in their own unique way. The result: a one-of-a-kind family home with high ceilings, large windows, surprising sightlines, and a creative, warm living experience.
