The Pigsty, Classical temple folly in Fylingdales, England
The Pigsty features a hexastyle portico with timber quasi-Ionic columns on stone bases, crowned by a pediment with wooden acroterion decorations.
Built in 1891 by John Warren Barry, a local squire of Fyling Hall, this structure reflects his interest in Mediterranean and Classical architecture.
The building represents a fusion of Classical temple architecture applied to an agricultural structure, demonstrating Victorian architectural experimentation in rural settings.
Located at coordinates 54.4237, -0.5579, The Pigsty now functions as holiday accommodation managed by the Landmark Trust since its restoration in 1991.
The Grade II* listed building incorporates a reeded frieze and mutuled cornice that encircle the structure, with matching pediments at front and rear.
