96 Of The Most Evil-Looking Buildings That Could Easily Be Supervillain Headquarters
Are you an evil supervillain? Are you looking for a new lair? Then check out this list of diabolical-looking buildings for some seriously sinister inspiration. They might look like dodgy dens from a James Bond movie, but they're actually a bunch of awesomely creative, non-nefarious structures from around the world. Compiled by Bored Panda, and greatly inspired by /r/evilbuildings, the list contains everything from a dancing house in Prague and a train station in Lyon to a congress centre in Hangzhou and a research institute in Berlin. You're sure to find some great design ideas, even if you're not a scheming supervillain. Don't forget to vote for the best!

Buzludzha, Bulgaria
Philadelphia City Hall, Philadelphia, USA
Saved from the Urban Renewal wrecking ball in the 1950s because it's too solidly built, with walls up to 22' thick.
Saved from the wrecking ball of Urban Renewal in the 50s because it was too solidly built, with walls up to 22' thick at the base.
It is a beautiful building and it does not look exactly like that at night it was photoshopped some@ I lived here in Philly for 47 u yrs and it is a historical building so of course it will look different compared to the newer buildings .In fact many buildings are historical around there.Center City has a lot of colonial times buildings.Besty Ross's house and more plus a old colonial cemetery they say a lot of haunted places too!!!
I've seen it, and I like it so much. And I'm from Europe, I'm kinda used to see old historical places all over me. I loved Philly.

When the fog rolls in City Hall looks like this at night and in the mornings.
Reminds me also of the building in The Shadow- the one that was "hidden" by mass hypnosis
Its definitely been altered. Building is not focused right. Also half of the top is missing in the fog.

The building's "pixelated" appearance gives the impression like it's falling apart
Polygone Riviera, France
This building is located in a open air French mall, divided into four districts (Home & Garden, Lifestyle, Premium, and The Designer Gallery). The 22 meter (72 ft.) building itself is titled “Guetteur” which translated to English means "the lookout".

Maison St Cyr, Brussels, Belgium
At 4 meters wide, this residence is breathtaking! I'd love to live here
Fort Alexander (Plague Fort), Saint Petersburg, Russia
Everything about this place is sort of creepy. From a stable for laboratory horses to the cremation facility for lab animals, for about 20 years, this place was a research facility for the Plague and other bacterial diseases (hence the name). And even a couple of deaths of two people doing that research.

Dear Šarūnė Mac, please don't just steal all my material from reddit. Youre such a scrapper lady. If anyone wants to see where she plucked all these from, check out www.reddit.com/r/evilbuildings. i put work into making a post everyday on there as if it was my blog. Alot of research gets put into and i dont even get paid. You simply stole someone elses work, didnt credit me and getting paid. nice. wow. Even the Austria DC Tower proves it, using the same exact imgur link- check the title
Yes, there are weird looking buildings, but mind that those strange looking churches on this list are place of God, home of worship, home of prayers, and very important and sacred places for millions of religious people. ’You may say I’m a dreamer’ but I’d like to live in a world where no human races and no religions are being bullied. There was a said and tragic time in history when jewish people and their sacral buildings, the synagogues were first bullied, then hurt, and then we know what happened… (Remember Crystal night, 1938). Please don’t hurt religious people, and their most precious buildings, the churches, synagogues, mosques,... These buildings are not the home of evil, please don’t use them for bad purposes. Peace and love for You!
Dude you need to chill out, no one is bullying anyone.
