The Bottle Houses are three fantasy-like buildings with walls of recycled glass bottles, built by Cap-Egmont resident Edouard Arsenault between 1980 and the mid-1980s, with gardens beside the sea on Route 11 in Cap-Egmont, Prince Edward Island. The first house opened to the public in 1981. The site is run by his family and is listed by its operator as open daily 10:00 to 6:00. A 2026 CAA Atlantic feature describes the work as art and architecture and counts more than 30,000 bottles; other sources give 25,000, so no count is stated here.
