There have been countless events and fundraisers to come out of Hurricane Harvey in the past few weeks, but this might be the most weird one yet. Austin's Camelot House in South Austin is teaming up with the Austin Weird Homes Tour, and is opening its doors to the public for the very first time as a fundraising event for the Houston Mayor's Fund. And if you're a GoT fan, you're going to go nuts over this house.

With five bedrooms, five baths and 5,000 square feet of medieval glory (guys, there are stained glass windows featuring dragons), it's enough to make you settle in under the bedroom's knight-bedazzled ceiling murals for a GoT marathon. And here's the kicker—the Camelot House has never been open to the public before, and may never be again after this September 23 event.

Tickets are name-your-own price and start at $20, which gets you a tour of the house followed by drinks and entertainment on the grounds. Additional donations will be accepted throughout the night, and the Weird Homes Tour is working with artists to donate pieces for a silent auction. You can purchase a ticket here, but hurry—there are plenty of Austinites who wouldn't mind playing Jon Snow for an evening.
The Camelot House will open on September 23, from 5-7pm, and for one day only. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door.
