Did it pop out from a children’s book? Is this a fairy-tale land? The answer is no. It is a waste treatment plant, where it has an incineration and a size reduction facility, and the produced energy is used to generate electric power.

The imaginative building was designed by an Austrian architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who is also known as a contemporary artist.

As you can see, it consists of a lot of organic (irregular) lines.

The plant gives a tour to the visitor who made an appointment in advance. Explaining the waste treatment process with cartoon characters, it is perfect for children’s field trip.
