The old Crooked House, at left, in Lavenham, Suffolk, on High Street is charming. In the mid-90s, before I wielded a digital camera, I snapped photos up and down the streets of this village, one of the most charming towns that rose to heights in the woolly days of England.
Compare that crooked architecture to this new Crooked House in Sopot, Poland, built in 2003, and ranked #1 in the list of 50 strange buildings in the world (The Beer Can House in Houston is about #24 or so).
I had to put them together in this post.

There's a crooked house in Rothenburg aub der Tauber, Germany - along the lines of the Suffolk version. I was there in 1997, and when we bought Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on DVD I was VERY startled to discover that was where they'd filmed the village where the toyshop was. Nowhere in the village do they make reference to that.
