A House Upside Down In Szymbark

is an interesting building, built ... on the roof. It comes to him through the window peak and strolling through the ceiling moves to a bygone era, because the interior is equipped with furniture from the communist period. Of course, this is not a random procedure, because the whole building is meant to symbolize that time, when everything was the opposite.
