45 Belgian Houses That Are So Bad, They’re Good (New Pics)

Ah, Belgium – the land of castles, Tintin, fries… and hilariously ugly houses, apparently. One Belgian man, Hannes Coudenys, even dedicated an Instagram account to immortalize these architectural “marvels” and you don’t need to be an architect to have good laugh.

“Normally, if you like architecture you like good houses, but in Belgium, there’s a lot of ugly architecture. So I started taking pictures of it,” said Hannes in an interview with Bored Panda. He said that the reason there are so many weird houses in Belgium is because of liberal building regulations and people love designing their own quirky dreamhouses.

As funny as the buildings seem to us, the actual owners of the homes weren’t so pleased. “I received emails from lawyers and eventually gave in, stopping the blog altogether,” said Hannes. “I can understand the negative reactions in a way… It’s the house of their dreams and I am demolishing it!” Lucky for us, the Belgian man decided to continue his quest of documenting every ugly house in Belgium and has amassed over 104k followers on Facebook and 77k more on Instagram.

Hannes says that not all architecture in Belgium is terrible and he likes the works of Gijs van Vaerenbergh, Vens-Vanbelle, De Vylder Vinck Taillieu, and Vincent van Duysen.
