Garden Folly
Have fun with these wayward structures that serve only for decoration, not habitation, in a garden
A fantastical building with little use, a garden folly is intended as an extravagant hoax. This architectural element is usually in the form of a tower, castle, bridge, pagoda or temple, sometimes in ruins and always purely as decoration.
A winding path leads to this stacked-stone garden folly with a copper dome roof and arched openings.
Sometimes garden follies are decorative "ruins," such as this dilapidated church.
A Roman temple is quite an elaborate garden folly.
This stone facade comes complete with shutters and landscaping, making a great garden folly.
