愚蠢的建筑, 装饰性建筑
a decorative building of no practical use that was built in the past, often in a large garden belonging to a country house
A folly is a structure or building that is built primarily for decoration or as a whimsical feature, rather than for a practical purpose. It is often found in gardens or landscapes and can take the form of a tower, gazebo, or ruin, sometimes designed to look like something from a distant past or a fantasy. Folly buildings were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially in English gardens, where they were meant to add charm or create an interesting focal point. Although they might not serve any functional role, they are appreciated for their artistic or imaginative design.
