Gargoyle Statues have a way of catching your eye, whether they’re perched in a garden corner or sitting by an entryway. Some people pick a single gargoyle statue for protection, others just enjoy their odd, playful expressions. The rough texture of stone gargoyles makes them look like they’ve been around forever, adding a bit of history to your space. If you’ve been hunting for gargoyles for sale, you’ll find plenty of choices here.
Gargoyle statues have a way of standing out no matter where you place them. Some people set one by the front door as a kind of guard, while others like them tucked into a garden corner where they feel almost hidden until you spot them.

Common Questions About Gargoyle Status
Architecturally, gargoyle statues historically worked as water spouts. By extending off of the main body of a building and curving downward, they gave rainwater a path from the upper part of a building to the ground, ensuring that water didn’t damage the stonework. Aesthetically, garden gargoyles symbolize protection from dark forces and malicious powers.
