Metcalf Canopy: A unique canopy perched on the peak of a hilly mound , was built in 1850s by british scholar 'Charles Metcalfe' as a ‘folly’. It is called a folly as folly is a relatively new building actually meant to look like old. With a backdrop of a picturesque landscape, the folly looks so charming. Structurally build like a hexagon. Rajon Kee Baoli: A breathtaking stepwell (locally called a 'Baoli'), This baoli is named 'Rajon ki Baoli' after spooky stone masons who resided in its underground chambers.
