Belgian Guy Documents Ugly Houses He Sees And They’re So Bad, It’s Hilarious (30 More New Pics)
Interview
There’s nothing like seeing photos of horrible and ugly architecture to perk up your spirits. You look at those ugly buildings and you think to yourself, “2020 might be a horrible year and things are going to hell but at least my life’s better than these trainwrecks.” If you’re a fan of architectural disasters, then you have to check out the Ugly Belgian Houses social media pages, run by local Hannes Coudenys. His project of taking snaps of ugly houses in Belgium is loved by a lot of people and he jokes that it’s turned into almost a “cult.”
Hannes told Bored Panda that a big part of his growth online has been the fact that he's been doing a project for Belgian TV. "I ring the door and ask them if they know they are on this page. In the end, I tell them it's my website." You can check out Hannes' videos right here. He's still working on them and around 25 new ones are in the making.
You can check out Bored Panda’s earlier awesome posts featuring Ugly Belgian Houses right here and here. But before you do that, scroll down, upvote your fave horrendous buildings, and read on for our freshest interview with Hannes.

The wooden door gives them acces to the rear of their property for bicycles and bikes and waste bins. Very common in Belgium and the Netherlands.

When They Keep Parking On Your Disabled Spot.
WilvanderHeijden 6 years ago
Belgium doesn't have "personal" parking spots. You can apply to have a spot marked as a disabled spot, but it still can be used by anyone who also has a parking permit for disabled spots.

‘I Fok Horses.’ ‘Pardon?’ Yes, Paarden!

The caption is a play on English-Dutch false friends: "Ik fok" means "I breed", and "paarden" means "horses".

What do you think ?
Kenny Kulbiski 6 years ago
Most of these I'd call unusual rather than ugly. I kinda like the non conformist attitude. "It's my house, screw what you think."
Geth 6 years ago
No, they're really, really, really ugly. Most of them are either attempts to save money on taxes, or built by people with more pretension than money.

They are NOT ugly they are country specific. I'm sure if I toured around your country I could find houses that are comparable. This is just another example of xenophobia dressed up as aren't people in other countries funny?
