Upside Down House, Tourist attraction in Zakopane, Poland
The Upside Down House is a visitor attraction in Zakopane where the entire interior—furniture, appliances, and decorations—hangs from the ceiling, creating a complete reversal of space. The building sits at an angle on its roof, so visitors move through rooms where the floor becomes the ceiling.
This attraction opened in 2015 in Zakopane as part of a new wave of interactive experiences in the Tatra region. The idea followed a growing trend of innovative attractions modernizing the traditional mountain village experience.
The space shows how contemporary entertainment merges with traditional mountain house design, reflecting modern shifts in local tourism. Visitors experience a playful interpretation of space that challenges everyday expectations.
A visit requires good balance and orientation skills, as all rooms are inverted and perception is constantly challenged. Wearing comfortable shoes and allowing time for slow exploration is recommended.
The structure was intentionally designed as a walkable artwork where the illusion is so convincing that visitors actually walk on walls as if they were floors. This sensory illusion makes every room a fresh challenge for both brain and body.
