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>
