9. The Crooked House of Windsor — Windsor, England
The Crooked House of Windsor was originally built in 1592 and later demolished in 1687 to make way for the neighboring Guildhall. A legal dispute forced the council to rebuild it on the same spot. To complete the reconstruction quickly, they used green, unseasoned oak wood with a high moisture content. As the wood dried, it warped and buckled, leaving the building with its characteristic lean. Once known as Market Cross House, it has served many purposes over the centuries, including a butcher shop and a teahouse. Today, its tilted form remains one of Windsor’s most recognizable sights.These clever repairs show how creativity can restore more than just surfaces—it can change how we see the world around us. Whether with books, LEGO, thread, or tiles, these interventions prove that even damage can become part of a city’s beauty.
