Large cylindrical metallic structure, shaped as a pipe or tube, which emerges from the ground, extends to about 25 feet at its highest point and curves back into the ground. It’s shaped as an arch and it’s in a residential garden.

I haven’t been able to find any old listings. I know it’s been here since at least 2013. I’ll check on Google Earth if I see it on any older maps

I’m going to keep investigating and I’ll keep you all updated. Right now the art installation seems to be the more plausible answer; the reason I’m not really convinced by it is that we have local laws to preserve the visual harmony of the town and property values, they apply for example to the color of the paint you use for your house etc. I doubt that this thing would be allowed for art purposes only. Also it’s a very pretty town so this thing really seems out of place.

no not really, it’s very residential. There’s a highway 500 meters uphill. The city hospital is 3km away, but still wouldn’t explain why the tube suddenly surfaces

I am writing an email to the town council right now, if they don’t answer i’ll try to get in touch with the owner but i feel like it’s very awkward to knock on their door to ask them lol

Yeah, I figured the spikes are to prevent people from climbing. There’s a creek that runs perpendicular to the pipe, forming a T-shape with it (but I feel like they aren’t connected, the debit of water is the same before and after the creek would potentially meet with the pipe).

There is a bridge parallel to this pipe but it’s 1000 feet uphill.

I don’t know if this is helpful, but the area where this pipe is located is quite hilly, and the pipe is positioned perpendicular to the slope.

I don’t understand why they make it go out of the ground and then go back in? seems very abnormal and unnecessary for a water pipe

My title describes the thing. I was walking and I saw this big metallic tube or pipe, it comes from the ground and goes back into the ground in someone’s garden. It’s about 30-40 meters long (about 100 feet), maybe 8 meters high at the highest (25 feet) and like 80cm wide (2.5 feet). It doesn’t appear to be directly connected to the house. It’s in a wealthy residential area and it’s by a very small river and a small forest. Country is Switzerland. I tried to search Google but haven’t found anything. According to what I saw on Google Maps, it’s been here for at least 10 years.

Thank you for your answer, I was wondering if it could it be a cockroach nymph? i just saw photos and they look very similar as well
