 * You need to create the page as a custom template and then create a new page in
   wordpress and assign the template to it.

 * Yeah i do,
 * What i want to do with the page is get data out of another database wich has 
   information about objects (houses)
    Is that doable?

 * Yep, sure. A custom template is just a php page with access to the wordpress 
   loop, vars etc
