Thanks to blogger Hannes Coudenys and, of course, the architects themselves, Belgium has become notorious for its quirky buildings. In 2012, Coudenys decided to begin documenting the peculiarities of Belgian architecture on an Instagram account called 'Ugly Belgian Houses,' and it has drawn the attention of architecture design enthusiasts from all over the world.
But really, how hideously bizarre can a house design really be? Scroll down to check out the list of outrageously weird houses below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

"Architect: ‘What kind of windows would you like?’ Client: ‘Yes’"
"When u wanted to live in a fairytale but you chose to live in Shrek’s Swamp House"
"Textures loading"
"'No, your other left'"
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who´s the fanciest house of them all??, Oh, me, me!"
"Windows not installed"
"Architect: what do you want
Guy: legs of a lego man
Architect: say no more fam"
Omg, this is in my hometown, the back of the other half goes into the air as well. They've been building this for years but are having problems and it's still not finished.
"When you have a beautiful Belgian House but you really want to be on my website"
Perfect contrast! - Beautiful old architecture Vs We just can't be bovvered 😂
"Nobody puts baby in a corner"
"Welcome to my Shiteau!"
"I NEED THAT EMOJI"
"Looks like Frodo finally settled down in the suburbs"
That one looks actually pretty nice to me, except the stones taht look a bit dirty and could need a cleaning...It looks a bit sad like that
"For that cosy under the bridge feeling"
"When you didn’t know you had to bring your own roof"
"NEIN NEIN NEIN"
"When Belgians move"
There's always that one neighbor that must be different from the others, in a stupid kind of way.
"Sink outside the box"
"Total eclipse of the house"
This is one of those "IS IT UGLY OR IS IT SO F*****G DEEPLY ARTISTIC THAT WE DONT GET IT..? SMILE AND PRETEND YOU GET IT HONEY.."
"What where they checking uh... thinking?"
"Zaha Hadid from the Aldi"
I wouldn't say they're ALL ugly. ____ But they're certainly unique
I liked quite a few of them. Even ugly is better than cookie cutter boring. Plus they could be spectacular insir.
@Mascha Claessens, I bet you are Dutch and you don't like the Belgians. Right?

It may have become a museum after that because I remember seeing it through the 80s and part of the 90s. I think it may be torn down by this point, but please don't hold me to that. I haven't driven south in years.
