The House of Legends, Lviv
The House of legends in Lviv is a restaurant that is dedicated to Lviv legends. The face of the building is decored with a dragon sculpture and beneath him there is a clock that shows you Lviv time. The building gathered a lot of tourists that were waiting for “the show” – to see how the dragon blow out the flame at certain periods of time. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed and lets no visitors inside. It used to be the most popular restaurant in Lviv not just because of a tasty cuisine (there cooked the delicious food) but because the authentic interior inside of it. But from the outside, the building looks so mysteriously, as it was before.

The upside-down house, Bukovel
It could be an ordinary building if not taking into account that it stands upside down. The face of the building is above, and the roof is below. It was the first building of its kind. It was built just in a month and a half. Maybe it looks like a small house from the outside, but its size is 85 square meters. Many tourists stops to take some photos against the building. You can also enter the house if you pay a separate sum of money and buy a ticket. Not far from the building there is a café and a market where you can buy everything you want – from souvenirs to furs. Is this not a reason to make a stop for a couple of hours?
Chimeras House, Lutsk

Many sculptures were made in different styles that, from the first sight looks like incompatible at all but if you pay more attention to them you will see how the styles are bind together. Here the fairy-tale characters stand side by side with the figures of the saint. Nowadays the host of the building works as a guide here and tells the tourists the history of his house, why these or that sculptures are done in this way as well as their non-accidental location.
