Ferdinand's Palace. Picture from Wikipedia.
French postman Ferdinand Cheval (French for horse) built this Palace of rocks, in his spare time, working far into the night. He was a widower with a son brought up by godparents. The postman wanted to be buried in his palace but this was not allowed so he built his own mausoleum in a cemetery.
Ferdinand's Mausoleum.

If you can't travel so far:
Shell grotto, Margate.
Shell house, Framingham, Norfolk, at English coast village with seafood festival and RNLI exhibition of pier with lifeboat (see my previous post). We tried to get in to see it on a Sunday about noon but it is manned by volunteers and no sign of opening time so we had to drive off for lunch on our way home to London.

This list includes some spooky catacombs of mummified bodies.
The most modern and uplifting suggestions is the Gardens By The Bay in Singapore. The nearest MRT train station is currently Bayfront and the other station Gardens by the bay will be open by 2021.
If you like staying in unusual places, and I do, there's the Crazy House in Vietnam:
