Czech Republic

The Dancing House, by Jarisek Bridge in New Town, Prague. It was designed by Czech architect Vlado Milunic and Canadian architect Frank Gehry and was built in 1996 on the vacant riverfront plot where the previous building had been destroyed during the Bombing of Prague in 1945.
Originally named Fred and Ginger after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as it vaguely resembles a pair of dancers. Others have nicknamed it the 'Drunk House'
