Schiefes Haus, Ulm

The Crooked House stands on the bank of River Blau with its structure leaning at an angle of 9 to 10 degrees from vertical position.

Built in 1443 as a five-story timber-framed house, it served as a gathering place for ship masters and contained fish storage chambers in its cellar.

The building represents medieval German construction techniques, with its exposed wooden beams and traditional Fachwerk architectural style typical of southern Germany.

The hotel rooms feature modern amenities and level beds equipped with water weights in their headboards to maintain horizontal sleeping positions.

Since 1997, the Guinness Book of Records recognizes this structure as the most tilted hotel building in operation worldwide.
