Fonthill Abbey—also known as Beckford's Folly—was a large Gothic Revival country house built between 1796 and 1813 at Fonthill Gifford in Wiltshire, England, at the direction of William Thomas Beckford and architect James Wyatt. It was built near the site of the Palladian house, later known as Fonthill Splendens, which had been constructed by 1770 by his father William Beckford. This, in turn, had replaced the Elizabethan house that Beckford The Elder had purchased in 1744 and which had been destroyed by fire in 1755. The abbey's main tower collapsed several times, lastly in 1825 damaging the western wing. The entire abbey was later almost completely demolished.

  • Fonthill Abbey (česky Fonthillské opatství) bylo rozsáhlé novogotické venkovské sídlo vybudované na přelomu 18. a 19. století nedaleko městečka Hindon v anglickém hrabství Wiltshire (22 km západně od Salisbury) na přání britského spisovatele, politika a cestovatele Williama Thomase Beckforda. Dominantou budovy byla vysoká věž, která se kvůli stavebním nedostatkům několikrát zřítila a Fonthill Abbey se tak stalo známým příkladem architektonického velikášstí spojeného s technickou neznalostí.

  • Fonthill Abbey war ein großes Herrenhaus in neugotischem Stil, das der britische Schriftsteller und Exzentriker William Beckford um 1800 zwei Kilometer südsüdöstlich der kleinen Ortschaft in der Grafschaft Wiltshire errichten ließ. Die nächste größere Stadt ist das 22 Kilometer östlich gelegene Salisbury. Hauptmerkmal des Gebäudes war sein hoher Turm, der auf Grund baulicher Mängel mehrere Male einstürzte und Fonthill Abbey so zu einem weithin bekannten Beispiel für bautechnischen Größenwahn bei technischer Unkenntnis werden ließ.

Si trattava di una residenza di campagna con elementi decorativi simili a un'abbazia; le dimensioni dell'edificio erano di gran lunga superiori alla villa di Walpole, pur mantenendo quella tenebrosa solennità che i romantici collegavano al concetto di secoli bui.
