Folly (havekunst)

Folly (plur. follies; dårskaber, "påfund", ofte anvendt som 'garden follies'^[1] er et engelsk udtryk der inden for havekunsten bruges om de påfund i form af forskellige former for 'havearkitektur' eller 'installationer' som man placerede rundt om især i de romantiske haveanlæg der udviklede sig med inspiration fra den engelske landskabshave.

Det kunne være templer, pyramider, søjler, steler, obelisker, pavilloner, forskellige slags hytter, fx 'norske', 'schweiziske', kinesiske ('kineserier'), eremitboliger, grotter, ruiner, kanalsystemer, broer, kildevæld, vandfald, udsigtsplatforme, tårne, gravsteder, gravhøje, urner, mindestøtter.
