The Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya, Thailand, is an unfinished "artwork" designed by a Thai businessman. The building is constructed of wood, and its structure is a hybrid of a temple and a castle that is decorated with ornamentation from Thai, Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese and Khmer traditions. The construction started in 1981 and is reportedly not expected to be finished until 2025 at the earliest.
