PICTURES:Upside down house both interior and exterior, Polish village’s topsy-turvy tourist draw

A house constructed entirely upside down is now a tourist attraction for the tiny village of Szymbark in northern Poland. As well as presenting topsy turvy from the exterior, the
house’s internal contradictions proved problematic during construction.
Completed in 2007, the house designed by Polish businessman and philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski was originally created as an artwork designed to be representative of the end of the communist era in Poland ushering in a time of uncertainty, reports Greenme.

Visitors enter the upside down house via a roof window from where they can walk around on the ceilings. Internally, the house is furnished as it would have been during the communist era. According toPoland Travel, the television even broadcasts socialist propaganda typical of the period before life in Poland was turned upside down as communist rule across the nations of the Warsaw Pact came to an end.
