    The Temple of Cupid once belonged to an English garden in Scharnhausen. Many romantic legends surround the Temple of Cupid in the Ostfildern district of Scharnhausen. One of them is that the Duke of Württemberg, Carl Eugen, had it built in 1788 for his lover and later wife, Franziska von Hohenheim. Whether they spent time together there is unknown.

    The airy little temple, a modified monopteros (round temple), reflected the classical aspiration for refined simplicity. Corresponding to its twelve columns, the temple, later called the Temple of Cupid, was surrounded by twelve trees.

    At this point you do not necessarily expect this small temple with 12 columns and such remarkable capitals
