/ follies
folly (from French folie, “foolishness”), also called EYECATCHER, in architecture, is a costly, generally nonfunctional building erected to enhance a natural landscape. Follies first gained popularity in England, and they were particularly in vogue during the 18th and early 19th centuries when landscape design was dominated by the tenets of Romanticism (q.v.). Thus, depending on the designer’s or owner’s tastes, a folly might be constructed to resemble a medieval tower, a ruined castle is overgrown with vines, or a crumbling Classical temple complete with fallen, eroded columns.
