A La Ronde, Lympstone, Exmouth, Devon - An Unusual 16-Sided House from the 18th Century Step back in time and feast your eyes on this architectural marvel, A La Ronde, located near Lympstone in Exmouth, Devon, England. This diamond-shaped, 16-sided house was built in the late 18th century for two intrepid spinster cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter. Their extensive travels in Europe, particularly their visit to the 6th-century Byzantine basilica of San Vitale at Ravenna, served as the primary inspiration for this unique and intriguing dwelling. The exterior of A La Ronde boasts an array of diamond-shaped windows, giving the house an otherworldly appearance that seems to defy the conventional norms of architecture. The interior is no less captivating, with its circular rooms, intricate plasterwork, and hidden doors that add to the house's enchanting allure. The Parminter cousins' vision for A La Ronde was to create a home that was not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Each room in the house is designed to serve a specific purpose, from the library to the dining room, and even the bedrooms. The house's unique design allowed the cousins to make the most of the available space while also providing them with a sense of individuality and privacy. A La Ronde stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its builders, as well as the adventurous spirit of its inhabitants. The house's enduring charm continues to draw visitors from all corners of the globe, making it a must-see attraction for anyone with an appreciation for history, architecture, and the unusual. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, captures the essence of A La Ronde's timeless beauty and serves as a reminder of the boundless possibilities that exist when one dares to think outside the box.
