The architecture of this building, located in the northern part of Portugal, on the slope of Mount Fafe, was inspired by the house of the Flintstone family from the famous American cartoon of the same name.

The house got its name due to the fact that it was built from four huge boulders, which serve as a foundation, walls and roof, giving it a unique prehistoric appearance. Its construction began in 1972 and lasted 2 years.

The house was originally used by the owners as a summer cottage. Today, the Stone House houses a small museum of relics and photographs that tell about the history of this region.

Despite the fact that the dwelling is located near the wind farm, electricity has not been supplied to it. Thanks to its unusual design and harmonious combination with the environment, the Stone House has become an increasingly popular tourist attraction.
