Eva Braun's Summerhouse ✽
24 photosThe Summerhouse of Eva Braun in Pobierowo, Poland, is known as a former summer residence of Eva Braun, who was Adolf Hitler’s longtime companion and briefly his wife. The house is situated in the western part of Pobierowo, surrounded by dense forest near a cliff overlooking the Baltic Sea. It is a simple wooden villa built in the 1930s, featuring a hipped roof, a set-back porch, and a modest design. During the 1930s and 1940s, this house served as a summer retreat and was reportedly guarded by German soldiers. Though there is no written evidence that Adolf Hitler ever visited this house, the nearby area was frequented by high-ranking Nazi officials, including Hermann Göring, who lived in the vicinity and visited a nearby seaplane base. After World War II, the house was abandoned and has since fallen into a state of disrepair, but it remains a place of curiosity for visitors interested in its historical associations. Despite its notoriety tied to Eva Braun, many historians consider the story more myth than documented fact and suggest the house was likely used by Nazi officials rather than Braun herself. -
