Top 10 Strangest Buildings in the World

By Village Mayor • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: Architecture, Latest Post

We already had 2 awesome posts about architecture (50 Strange Buildings of the World Part I and  Part II), but those lists were completely random – numbers didn’t mean anything.

This post is different, after collecting 2130 votes on unusual-architecture.com, we can finally tell The Top 10 strangest buildings in the world.

By the way, the III part of the weirdest buildings is also out, and you can read it here.

1st Place: Stone House (Guimarães, Portugal)

P.S. drawbacks of this list: not all of the buildings were included in unusual-architecture.com; the voting took only 1 month.

But don’t worry my friends, this list will be definitely updated in the future.
