Tips
This follie was commissioned by Paul Arconati at the beginning of the 19th century. One of the very first examples of gothic revival on the European continent, the latest fashion that was infatuated with everything medieval. This shed is a typical example of facade architecture: behind the eccentric facade there is a simple, elongated space in which garden tools and other materials were and are stored.
The inside is not accessible to the public.
