The Crooked House a.k.a Krzywy Domek of Sopot has found itself on the top of the list of "The 50 Strange Buildings of the World"hosted by the Village of Joy site. As for its history, the Crooked House was built in year 2003. What inspired the architects were Per Dahlberg's drawings. You'll found numerous beauty shops and stores inside along with the branch office for RMF radio broadcasting company. It lies in the Bohaterów Monte Cassino street, the town's most prominent promenade.
As for the list positioning, the first of fifty does not mean, in my opinion, it has won a contest, as suggested by our brave journalists at gazeta.pl. It is just on the top of the list, being the first to show its weird shapes to the visitors. But scroll down and you will see even more wicked out-of-this-world architecture.
