Daniel Czapiewski turned architecture on its head when he designed a rather unique and strange building in 2007. Poland’s ‘upside down house’ became the first of its kind on the planet. And since then, several others have popped up (or down) around the world. Czapiewski’s work aimed to teach visitors about the country’s political history, and its relationship with communism. The architect’s message: life in Communist Poland turned the world upside down.

As Atlas Obscura reports, “The upside down house is essentially a fully furnished home like any other, but took much longer than normal to build as workers kept becoming disoriented, forcing them to stop work. It wasn’t even built simply upside down, but on a tilt as well, essentially eliminating the comfort of a reliable, flat surface.”
Visitors enter the house by climbing through the attic window, and are able to walk around on the ceiling once inside. The interior is furnished with 1970s decor and a television shows propaganda from that era. Many have reported feeling dizzy and a bit confused after visiting the tourist attraction.
