The wall is approximately 100 feet long, 50 feet high, and 3 feet thick. The Earl of Belvedere built it in 1760 in a fit of jealousy because he believed, though she denied it even on her deathbed, that his wife and his brother were lovers. The wall was meant to block all view of his brother’s property. Belvedere also imprisoned his wife for more than 30 years. The Jealous Wall still stands today on the Belvedere House grounds near Mullingar, in Ireland.
