Etymology:
Meaning:
A building or structure designed to house pigeons or doves.
Origin:
Dovecotes have been used for centuries to provide shelter and nesting sites for pigeons and doves. These birds were often kept for food, their eggs, or their feathers.
The earliest known dovecotes date back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. They were also used in ancient Greece and Rome. In the Middle Ages, dovecotes were common in Europe and were often owned by wealthy landowners or monasteries.
Today, dovecotes are still used in some parts of the world, but they are less common than they once were. However, many dovecotes remain as historical landmarks and are often converted into homes or other buildings.
