The crazy house

Hang Ngas Guesthouse

The Hang Nga House ( Vietnamese Biet Thu Hằng Nga ), better known as the "crazy house" (Engl .: Crazy House) , located in the central highlands of Vietnam in the city of Da Lat .

The House

The Hang-Nga-Haus consists of several buildings and is a guest house, café and art gallery at the same time. You cannot assign a style to these buildings. The interior of the buildings consists of caves, winding passages, winding stairs, whimsical furniture and life-size animal statues. There are no straight shapes and right angles. Regardless of whether it is rooms, corridors, stairs, windows or furniture - everything looks as if it had melted in great heat and then solidified again in grotesque forms.

The exterior views of the buildings also avoid any clear line and seem to have sprung from “Alice in Wonderland”. Gnarled concrete trees and gigantic spider webs made of wire dominate between the individual buildings. Inside a cemented giraffe is a tea room.

The rooms can be booked for overnight stays as normal. If you just want to look at the complex , you can do so for a small fee.
