The entire house is structurally inverted, meaning the house rests on its roof ridge.
The interior tilt creates a deliberate sensory conflict that can cause mild dizziness for some visitors.
The furniture and kitchen appliances are permanently fixed to the ceilings to maintain the upside-down aesthetic.
The house is one of several attractions contained within the wider Labyrinth Park site in Anykščiai.
The exterior design features a standard home facade, but the chimney points toward the ground.
Apverstas Namas, or the Upside-Down House, is an architectural attraction in Anykščiai where the entire building structure is inverted, including the roof touching the ground. Inside, the floors are tilted at a sharp angle, and all furniture, appliances, and daily objects are mounted to the ceiling to create a disorienting gravitational illusion. The structure is part of the larger Labirintų Parkas (Labyrinth Park) complex. The interior layout simulates a typical residential home, fully furnished to enhance the visual trickery. Visitors walk through the rooms on the slanted floor, which challenges inner-ear balance. It is a popular destination for families and photography enthusiasts seeking surreal perspectives. The attraction is situated within a recreational park that offers other outdoor activities.
Stand in the kitchen area and pose while 'reaching' for an item mounted on the ceiling.
Focus on the horizon line while moving through the rooms to reduce potential motion sickness.
Wear shoes with good grip, as the steep floor tilt can make footing slippery.
Hold the camera at an angle when taking photos to make the room appear 'upright' while your body appears to be walking on the ceiling.
Do not attempt to walk through if you have severe balance or inner-ear issues, as the steep floor angle is unforgiving.
The park is seasonal and typically closed during the winter months; check for current status before visiting.
Refrain from touching or trying to move the furniture, as all items are secured for the illusion.
