=== Vitte ===

==== National Park House Hiddensee ====
The national park house was opened in 1998. The house in the north of Vitte is a thatched building with a trapezoidal ground plan. It contains a permanent exhibition about the [[Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park]] with a focus on Hiddensee. The exhibition's motto is "[[Ta panta rhei|Panta Rhei]] – Alles fließt".

==== Asta Nielsen House and surroundings ====

The round building, also called ''Karusel'' after the Danish word for [[carousel]], was built in 1923 according to plans by Max Taut for the Müller family. In 1928, the daughter of silent film actress [[Asta Nielsen]] bought it and spent the summer months there with her mother and her husband until the 1930s. Frequent visitors were [[Joachim Ringelnatz]] with his wife, [[Heinrich George]] and Gerhart Hauptmann. In 1975, the local government listed the building under [[cultural heritage management]]; in 1989, the Nielsen heirs sold the house to the municipality. In 2015, a permanent exhibition about Asta Nielsen opened. The house was located directly on the Bodden until the 1960s (see [[History 1945 to 1989]]). Right next to the Asta Nielsen House is another building by Max Taut, built in 1924 for the commercial director Karl Weidermann.

The municipality uses the house for public events, but it was badly damaged in the meantime and had to be renovated. The Ministry of Agriculture of the state of [[Mecklenburg-Vorpommern|Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania]] and the district of Western Pomerania provided around 500,000 euros for this purpose, and the municipality also had to make a small contribution. The renovation was completed in 2015, and since then wedding ceremonies can also be held in the balcony room. In addition, the house now serves as a museum and artists' residence, where, among other things, the cinematic work of the silent film actress and the life of Max Taut are shown in a permanent exhibition. Special exhibitions and seminars in adjoining rooms are added.<ref>[https://www.nordkirche.de/nachrichten/nachrichten-detail/nachricht/saniertes-asta-nielsen-haus-geht-wieder-in-betrieb/ ''Saniertes Asta-Nielsen-Haus geht wieder in Betrieb''], auf www.nordkirche.de; retrieved 15 June 2019.</ref>

{{Main|Blaue Scheune}}
In its original layout, the Blaue Scheune is a Low German half-timbered house from the beginning of the 19th century. Since the 1970s it has housed the gallery of the owner [[Günter Fink]]. He exhibited his paintings with island motifs here and also sold them.

==== Henni Lehman Haus ====
The Landhaus Lehmann was used as the summer residence of the [[Henni Lehmann]] family from 1907 to 1937. The building was designed by the Schwerin architect [[Paul Ehmig]]. After a reconstruction, the building served as the [[town hall]] of Vitte between 1938 and 1991. Since 5 June 2000 the house is officially called Henni Lehmann House and is used for events and exhibitions as well as the local library.

==== Hexenhaus ====
Built in 1755 as a fisherman's cottage, it is considered the oldest house in Vitte. Since 1915 the painter [[Elisabeth Büttner]] lived in the house, from 1930 it was the summer residence of the [[Pallat]] family or the resistance fighter Adolf Reichwein, who was murdered in 1944, and is still owned by the family today. In 1981, the house in Süderende 105 was listed as a historical monument. A commemorative stumbling stone is located in front of the house. The building cannot be visited from the inside.

==== Humunkulus figure collection ====
The collection of figures and props in the matter-of-fact new building made of larch wood comes mainly from the neighboring puppet theater Seebühne by Karl Huck. On display, in addition to theater posters and brochures, are, for example, [[Doctor Faustus (novel)|Doctor Faustus]], [[Long John Silver]], [[Ebenezer Scrooge]], [[Hans Christian Andersen]], [[Leo Tolstoy|Tolstoy]], [[Franz Kafka|Kafka]], [[Edgar Allan Poe]], [[William Shakespeare]], [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe|Goethe]], [[Pinocchio]], [[King Kong]], [[Marilyn Monroe]], [[Helena Blavatsky|Helena]], and an extensive animal kingdom including a [[Dodo|dronte]] chick.
