Imagine you rebuild your father hunting hut into a very very big house with 2,300 rooms spread over 63,154 m2, but you forgot the toilet. There names where all Louis and they had royal blood. One of them did most of the job, number 14. I’m talking about the one of the most impressive building in the world, Châteaux de Versailles. It takes forever to see it all. A good place to play hide and seek with your partner, if you don’t want to see each other again for a couple of months. Even it is smaller than Palace Louvre.

But there is this back garden, that makes it the largest royal domain in the world. With a crazy total of 8150265m² . Yeah, my dog would like it for sure, I would like it less.

In 1837 it became the Museum of the History of France, by order of King Louis-Philippe.

Would you take a sandy bath in a bathroom? Paint comes falling from the walls like tree leafs before winter. It is located in a house at Kolmanskop in Namibia. A old ghost village build by German settlers, they where on a search for diamonds. It is nice to walk around and explore in this small town, that slowly is overtaken by sand.
You will find a hospital, ballroom, power station, school, bowling hall, theater and sport-hall, casino, ice factory and the first x ray station in the southern hemisphere.
And if you are extremely lucky, you can spot a brown hyena that is also wondering around the village.

Located in Barcelona and designed by Antoni Gaudi. It was expected to be fully finished in 2026. That’s 144 years after the first foundation stone was laid in the year 1882. But the corona epidemic will probably push the date further away till 2030. Inside however you already can admire the beauty of the interior. Wait till the afternoon, when the sun comes trough the windows to start your visit.

Being one of the first to enter the side, gives you a good opportunity to get the reflection photo without a ton of people in it.

In older dynasties of ancient China, the ceremonies of offering sacrifices to ancestors or gods were usually held in the suburbs of the capitol. So they build this place, because it was a good way for the emperors to demonstrate their supreme status and dignity every year to the common people. Today it is not located in the suburbs anymore, but in the southeast centre of Beijing. This happens when a small city gets oversized.
