|Updated:

A mentally ill farmer in China has built, by hand, a seven-story structure whose gait has been compared to the famous building in the Japanese anime “Howl’s Moving Castle.”

The man, Hu Guangzhou, insists that the building is for his brothers to move into when they come back—but they’ve been dead ten years, according to Qilu Evening News , a Shandong-based newspaper.

Local officials have remonstrated with Hu for years, but haven’t had the heart to tear it down, lest he “take extreme measures.”
