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

Long before the monument was erected, the sacred land of #KhortytsiaIsland was home to egg-shaped #Temple-s built by the #Trypillia culture over 4K yrs ago. In 2007, Ukraine unveiled a monumental #Pysanka here, to honour this ancient symbolism. Its red-white-black motif blends #Zaporizhzhia #Folklore with meanings of fertility, fire & family, drawing pilgrims here to pray.

The #Monument of King #MatthiasCorvinus in Cluj-Napoca #Romania celebrates the rule of a Superpower. As King, Matthias waged war in Europe; he introduced an 85% tax that led to rebellion & with no successor, his conquests were lost within months of his death. Yet Matthias lives on in #Folklore, a fair & just King who roamed in disguise amongst the people to deliver justice.
