Folly Art Norg
A folly is an unconventional, artistic structure that serves no practical function but can evoke emotions. The term derives from the English word 'fool' and originates in Roman times. Originally, follies were built by the wealthy to embellish their estates and showcase their prosperity.
During Folly Art Norg, visitors get to know these unique structures in the Drenthe landscape. The winning submission by architectural firm Vector-i for the 2024 edition was praised by the jury for its site-specific architecture, perfectly capturing the history of the peat landscape. The structure stands out for its geometric shapes, refined details, and a playful concept where visitors can leave small stones and flowers.
