Krzywy Domek — Attraction in Sopot

Krzywy Domek, or the Crooked House, is a whimsical architectural landmark located in the heart of Sopot, Poland. Completed in 2004, this 4,000-square-meter building is part of the Rezydent shopping center and was designed by architects Szotyńscy & Zaleski. Its surreal, warped appearance was inspired by the fairytale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg, as well as the works of Antoni Gaudí .   

Situated on Bohaterów Monte Cassino Street, Sopot’s main pedestrian thoroughfare, Krzywy Domek houses a variety of establishments, including shops, restaurants, cafes, and offices. Inside, visitors can find the Food Hall Krzywy Domek, offering diverse culinary options, and the Museum of Illusions, providing interactive exhibits for all ages .  

The building’s unique design features curved walls, a dragon-scale roof, and a glass entrance that creates the illusion of movement, making it one of the most photographed structures in Poland . 

While the exterior is captivating, some visitors may find the interior offerings typical of a commercial center. However, the building comes alive in the evenings with various bars and clubs, and the “Wall of Fame” on the ground floor showcases autographs of Polish celebrities .

I was worried that the floor and ceiling of the house would be uneven. I observed it for a while, but I didn’t see anyone go in, so I gave up my curiosity and didn’t experience...

Very underwhelming, the trees in front really take away from the house. I bet in winter when the leaves are off though that it looks much better.

This was one of the things to look at when looking at TripAdvisor so we were really looking forward to it but we nearly walked past it, we were actually Google mapping Costa originally and then realised it was the same location!

Glad we saw it because we would always be wondering but I wouldn't recommend making a special trip if you are not in the...
