Extremely Crooked Houses You’d Never Dare to Live in

Extremely Crooked Houses You’d Never Dare to Live in

What is you first impression when you saw a crooked house? Are these mistakes being made by a carpenter when the house was built or by the earth? Whatever the reasons are, crooked house a sure to attract every visitor’s eye.

The Crooked House of Windsor was build over 300 years ago and it is still sturdy until today. Every year, this house receives over 50,000 visitors annually.

This house seems more slanting compare the Crooked House of Windsor. Sir John Boy’s House (Kings Gallery) was building in Margate, England circa 1147.

Can you imagine standing in the end line and then someone in the middle push you down. The same situation also happens to this building. The slant of this building will be continuing each year and waiting to collapse.

This house seems like being melted.

Why this house seems like crooked? Might be because the structure of the house.

Just imagine your home to be like this and which floor you will choose to live?

This building builds in 2003 and inspired by the drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg from fairy tale story. Do you think this building looks very funny?

I’ve been in a few slanted/crooked houses in my time…though I worried each time I stepped inside. *lol*

Nice pictures!

I went through a crooked house once and that was a very strange experience. I couldn’t hardly keep my balance.

I loved these strange exciting looking houses. Once I went into a slanted house, it was amazinging. you had to hold on every step for a secure hold. This made me remember my thrilling funfilled adventure. Great pictures, and information!

I have always had a love of crooked houses – they really appeal th the child within me. I loved the rhyme when I was a kid:
There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile,
He bought a crooked cat who caught a crooked mouse
and the all lived together in a little crooked house!

This conjured up so many images to me as a child and I have been fascinated ever since. To this day I am still taken in by any buildng I see which is kooky and unusually crooked. I have lived in some interesting little houses too because their crookedness has appealed to me!
Great stuff Matt.

I wish more modern architechs were daring enough to make more buildings like this, they make the world a more interesting place.

living in the house would be cool – living across the street from it might make you a bit dizzy after a while.

rutherfranc, posted this comment on Jan 22nd, 2009

as long as the people living in it are not crooks, why not?

These are adorable! I think the King’s Gallery is my favorite although the fairy tale house is neat, too.
