 office building, interesting place

Szkieletor (Skeletor) is the unofficial name of a 94 metre high-rise building in Kraków, Poland, originally intended to become the headquarters of the Main Technical Organization (Naczelna Organizacja Techniczna). The construction of the building was started in 1975, but was stopped in 1981 because of economic constraints. Due to the unfinished building's resemblance to a skeleton, it was nicknamed after Skeletor, the arch-villain in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, a cartoon which was popular in Poland at that time.
