Where To Travel? To The Upside Down House
One of my friends is a true international traveller. She doesn’t miss the chance to visit a contemporary museum, the ruins of a church and other attractions.
So imagine what my reaction was when I saw a photo of her, where she was upside down, hanging from the edge of a table with only one hand. I thought she has either been to space or is doing gymnastics every day.
Thankfully, she told me everything when we met.
There are no limits for designs and architecture, and that’s what the Germans proved with their upside down house.
The house is literally upside down, the roof is in the soil, and the basement where the roof should be. It’s located in Trassenheide, Germany (not too far away from the Polish border).
This place looks like an ordinary German town with great vacation shores. Who would think that they’ll find a sample of upside down architecture there?
The house has been given the name “The World Stands on Its Head” (“Die Welt steht Kopf”). There are a lot of houses with upside down exterior architecture, but not all of them have an upside down interior as well. The entrance is from the attic, and later you go up to the basement. Europe tourism sounds like lots of fun, doesn’t it?
Every single detail is attached to the ceiling. Even the doors and the windows are upside down. You want to go to the restroom? Too bad, because you will hardly reach the sink. Fortunately the stairs are normal, otherwise you’d never manage to go upstairs. (or is it downstairs?)
It’s open to visitors from Monday to Saturday. The hours depend on the season: from April to October it’s open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and from November to March from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The creators of this house are Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk. They wanted to create something different and they undoubtedly succeeded. If you want new and fresh things and are wondering where to travel, here you go — this is one of the best trip destinations.
If you ever make Germany your travel destination, even if you’re there for sightseeing travel, don’t forget to visit this house and enjoy the feeling of “what would happen if there was no gravity.”
