A man, who hails from Beirut in Lebanon, constructed a spite house, one of the thinnest buildings in the world, just to block the Mediterranean Sea view of his brother’s building in the same area.

Called The Grudge, the building, which is 14-metre-high and less than one meter in width, was constructed on a 120-square-meter piece of land to decrease the value of the brother’s property. The brothers had inherited two plots from their father.

It was reportedly made in 1954, but made headlines after a netizen posted its photo on Twitter.

Reports suggest that the structure is also known as Queen Ship as one of the rooms was used as a brothel during the Lebanese civil war from 1975 to 1990.
