Experience the only upside down house in Belarus
The tradition of bringing curiosities from various countries dates back to the Radziwills, Tyszkiewiczs, Oginsky, and other representatives of famous noble families of Belarus. For example, it was rumored that the Puslovsky Palace had a glass floor-aquarium with exotic fish—even if this was true, the castle's concept was clearly imported from abroad. Potatoes, which first appeared in Belarus in the 17th century, became the foundation of national Belarusian cuisine not long ago. The first upside-down house is thought to have appeared recently, in 2007, in the Polish city of Shimbark.
Unlike Dukorsky maentak, the author of the first upside down house, Daniel Chapevsky, did not intend to attract tourists. It was a metaphor for how the modern world has been turned upside down. The exhibition of works by Polish artists on current topics such as hunger, fascism, communism, environmental disasters, and other manifestations of human activity was his main highlight. When one of their countrymen, Ivan Gumovsky, general director of CJSC Pukhovichi Agroprodukt, paid him a visit, he immediately set about attempting to build something similar in Belarus. And his plans were soon realized.
In 2015, an upside down house appeared in Belarus. The architects rely on the cruciform design created by the ridge and the ridges of the transverse mansard ledges to distinguish it from other objects. There are no mansards in the Dukor upturned house. Linoleum is being laid on the ceiling by technology. It is definitely one of the reasons to visit Belarus.
