Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Glass Bottle Houses with additional information or photos.

In this little Manitoba town, visitors will find a wishing well, church, and a house complete with a functioning bathroom all made of glass bottles.

Different colored glass bottles were used to create the stained glass effect on the church. A couple who lived in the area constructed the structures on their property before moving them to their current location for all to enjoy. This is a wonderful spot for a picnic if traveling from Winnipeg to Brandon.
