    Built according to plans by J.E.D Herigoyen 1799-1802. A place of loneliness and reflection. 😀

    The Philosopher's House, also known as the Philosophers' School or Temple of Philosophers (1785/87) is a simple building with a square floor plan, with risalites protruding on all sides and crowned by triangular gables; the tent roof is flat and slate-covered.
