Rushton Triangular Lodge, Grade I listed folly in Rushton, England
The three-story triangular lodge features alternating bands of dark and light limestone, measuring 33 feet on each side of its structure.
Thomas Tresham II designed and constructed this building between 1593 and 1597 after his imprisonment for maintaining Catholic beliefs.
The building incorporates extensive Trinity symbolism through its three walls, three windows per wall, and Latin inscriptions of exactly 33 letters.
English Heritage maintains this architectural site, which includes hexagonal interior rooms and triangular corner spaces connected by a spiral staircase.
The entrance displays mysterious numbers reading 5555 above the door, while the gables feature carvings of dates related to biblical events.
