The practice of living in a barrel was laid, as is known by the ancient Greek sage Diogenes. Everywhere the idea did not take root, but houses appeared in the form of a barrel. So the croatian Vladimir Ninkovich decided to prove that he was no worse than a philosopher in his village Kunovets Breg built your own barrel house with your own hands.
True, this fad cost him 10,000 euros and four years of time spent. None of the visitors believe that the building was not built of wood until they were felt with their hands. And really, the decor was just great.
In Germany, they also decided that using barrels for housing was not a bad idea and built a whole complex of eco-hotels with the seductive name “Sleep in a Wine Barrel”. For each individual room - a huge wine barrel. The lands of Baden-Württemberg are famous in Germany for the production of excellent wood and winemaking, so the idea of building a hotel in this place was not accidental.
The most interesting thing is that these are real barrels and they really kept wine. They were simply carefully equipped, the rooms have heating and even bathrooms, so those who wish can live in them in the winter.
In Sweden, there were also people who wanted to live in a barrel, in which wine was previously transported on ships.
Barrel House in Grand Marais, Michigan has an interesting history. The building was built by Pioneer Cooperage back in 1926 and has recently been refurbished for $ 50,000.

And this is the famous spa Lazne Libverda in the Czech Republic, known since the beginning of the 16th century.
