For years, buildings have been erected for lords and nobles for the display of wealth and power, and with that power comes the ability to possess an architectural marvel that has stood through centuries of war and dispute.
A dovecote is a small detached round or square building containing nesting boxes for the breeding and accommodation of doves or pigeons. Of greatly varying ground plan, dovecotes were important economic resources during medieval and later times as they provided sustainable supplies of meat, eggs, feathers, and manure. Also known as a columbarium.
