The “Leyk” team

Dear “Leyk” fans,
Stop by our café, open daily from April to December from 10.00 h a.m. – 5.00 h p.m., you can dip into our workshop.  For all interested people and groups, we organize tours through our factory (for groups on appointment).  Our team is looking forward to meeting you, and you can look over their shoulders to see how to make an original “Leyk” house in 12 different steps.

Each “Leyk” house is an individually handcrafted model and most visitors are amazed about the craftsmanship and time that goes in to our manufacturing process.  All “Leyk” models are 100% handcrafted in Germany.

We are looking forward to you.
