The surreal #HouseofMysticalBeasts was, according to #Folklore, a haven animals lived in, not people. Architect #WladyslawHorodecki adorned the house with “Chimaeras” Creatures: frogs, wolfs & #MythicalBeasts. Blurring architecture with fantasy, some say Horodecki built it in 1902, out of grief, pouring sorrow into stone. Others say the creatures are guardians #UkrainianMyths
