Did you know that across France and England in the 18th and 19th century it was fashionable for the wealthy (or aspiring upper class) to build garden follies? Little fake Roman or Greek ruins or even exotic Chinese pagodas, Japanese bridges, Egyptian pyramids, etc.
They even would hire a hermit to live in them and say deep philosophical things to amuse their guests. You were fancy if you had a hermit in your garden.
