House with one wall

Odessa has been famous for its original approach to everything. This is reflected even in the architecture of this city, which not only surprises with its beauty and historical significance, but also unusual structures. A vivid example — a house with one wall in Odessa, which makes good to stretch the brain, to understand how this could be.

Looking at the photo you can see that the house consists of only one bearing wall, the width of which is a maximum of the meter. However, Windows shows that people live here. The question remains, how do they fit there?!!

If You do not know the secret, read on.

The first time I saw this building that I saw in my head in search of clues. However, it is actually quite simple and is even in Odessa style.

See for yourself.

It turns out that the house was built in the shape of a triangle, the side walls of which are connected. So if you look at the house from a specific location, there is a feeling that the house has no side walls.

Perhaps you have a question, why is the house triangle? It turns out that in the 1820s, in planning the General plan of the city was cut in slanting pieces of land in the first place – this was due to the landscape. On the basis of the land owners and built the house.

Another reason why the building has a triangular shape, which you can often hear this banal lack of money for the erection of a fourth wall. However, it is more fiction than reality.

If You want to surprise your friends in Odessa who are still not aware of this secret, get them over here. The address of this house – Vorontsov lane 4. Among locals the house is still known as the Witch house.

By the way, interesting is the fact that a house in Odessa, not one. Now, however, not all triangle homes easy to see, because to him closely built neighboring house.

During the inspection Odessa attractions, I advise you to look at this firsthand.
