“The tiny Brittany town of Plougrescant’s claim to fame is a puzzling little house situated between two granite rocks by the sea.
The residence, Castel Meur, was built in 1861 with a specific goal in mind — to ward off the destructive heavy winds and storms the area is often troubled by.
After a postcard of the property created to boost local tourism caused such a stir with tourists that the private residence suffered damage, visitors can now only admire its unique form from a distance.”

Another home in the Fafe mountains of Portugal is even more offbeat, “a Casa do Penedo” (House of the Rock)

An article about the home, including a video tour of the interior (in Portugese) can be found here.

Had it not been for the video, I might’ve been tempted to believe that the photos were from Worth1000.com, a website dedicated to artistic photo manipulation (which by the way contains some amusing and downright stunning work).
Many have claimed that the boulder home in Portugal was a photoshop, but I researched it early on because it seemed to have the ring of legitimacy. The video was an extra bonus.
