Domain of Arnheim, The, descriptive tale by Poe, published in 1847. It incorporates The Landscape Garden (1842), and “Landor's Cottage” is a “pendant.”

A fabulously beautiful estate is created by Ellison, a millionaire enthusiast of landscape gardening. After spending years in searching for the perfect site, he chooses Arnheim, and carries out a huge plan for disposing the waterways, landscape, and vegetation so as to make it the ideal setting for the “semi‐Gothic, semi‐Saracenic” architecture of his elaborate home.
