An upside down house. Is this perhaps one of the fateful signs of the Mayan prophecies that attribute the date of the end of the world to December 21, 2012? Not quite, but almost. in fact, this upside-down structure, inaugurated on May 12, 2007 and built by Daniel Czapiewski, a Polish businessman and philanthropist, was born with the intention of representing our times, full of contradictions and grave dangers created by men.

An upside down house. This upside-down structure, inaugurated on May 12, 2007 and created by Daniel Czapiewski, a Polish businessman and philanthropist, was born with the intention of represent our times, full of contradictions and grave dangers created by men.
The "Upside Down House” it is located in the small village of Szymbark, in Polonia, and every year manages to attract thousands of tourists thanks to its originality, with which the author has, to be precise, wanted to emphasize that the end of the communist period in his country, he has ushered in an era of absolute uncertainty and confusion. Like the one that emerges looking at and visiting the house upside down.
Ben was needed to make it happen 114 days, many more than those in which a normal home of the same size is built, which would take up to 3 weeks.
How come? Simple: why even the workers were bewildered from the strange corners of the walls. Exactly the same effect that the many tourists who visit it tell, with contraindications such as seasickness and dizziness even after just a few minutes from entering the structure.
Even inside, in fact, everything is the other way around, with the furniture that is anchored to the ceiling. For this reason, entering this world upside down, one feels literally upside down, lost in an overwhelming environment compared to the normal perception of things and gravity.
What do you say, to drop by before December 21st 2012?
