Viole Manor

Viole Manor was a Neo-Fleurian styled manor home built by the commission of Queen Kateraldir Wilem of Flowers by the architect Nikols Witzkatov in 164 AE. The manor was destroyed by the order of Crown Prince Calvan Wilem in 58 ME during the Calvanist Revival.

History
Queen Kateraldir was heavily involved in the creation of Fleurian Aestheticism, an artistic movement turned spiritual, during her reign. She became close friends with many of the leading intellectuals of the movement who wanted to reject Justainism for a more Fleurian ideal. Kateraldir became close with Nikols Witzkatov, an architect and sculptor from the city of Skjol, Fleur. She admired his drafts for theoretical buildings, objects, and sculptural work. In 166 AE she commissioned him to create a manor home that could be used as a gathering place for intellectuals to discuss the merit of Fleurian Aestheticism. Witzkatov agreed and construction began the following year.

The building was completed in 164 AE and became an icon of the Neo-Fleurian style and Fleurian Aestheticism movement. The green building, sandwiched between two other row houses, was of exquisite make, with twisting polls, naturalistic forms, and curved architecture. Its interior was of the highest quality, filled with art, sculpture, and exotic materials. The iconic building was a meeting place for many important figures in the art scene of Fleur for nearly two hundred years. In 58 ME, by the order of Crown Prince Calvan Wilem, the manor was destroyed and its owner, famous painter Markus Wulfgang, arrested under charges of indecency. Wulfgang was later released, but the damage was done. The historic building was left in ruins, demolished due to its supposed pagan/heretical nature. A new chapel to Justain was built where it stood, called the Calvanist Chapel of our Lady of the Nine Wounds.
