Folly
building constructed primarily for decoration / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In architecture, a folly is a building usually constructed strictly for aesthetic pleasure.[1] Originally, buildings were made to provide shelter or to house people. Follies are just decoration; they no longer have a building's original function. They were first constructed to put accents into parks and estates. "Folly" is used in the sense of fun or light-heartedness, not in the sense of something ill-advised.
