This very large bottle, height of about 8 feet, welcomes visitors to this most unique tourist attraction. We estimated that over 1,500 bottles were use to create it.
You can visit this "Giant Bottle" free at anytime as it is located very near the road.
While you are there, you can also visit the other houses and features all made from recycled bottles. There is an admission to visit the "Bottle House".
History of the Bottle Houses
Over 25 000 recycled bottles ingeniously cemented together to create the Bottle Houses, a must-see tourist attraction situated in Cap-Egmont, Prince Edward Island, Canada. They were built by the late Édouard T. Arsenault. He gave birth to these houses after having received a postcard of a glass castle from his daughter in 1979, an attraction she had visited on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. That same summer, he started collecting bottles from his community, mostly from a local restaurant, community dance halls, friends, relatives and neighbors.
