Wattle and Daub
When you first see this picture you do indeed wonder what TriniView was thinking, but in fact this broken part of the wall is pointed out by the guides at Count de Lopinot's house. It is actually used to instruct visitors in the material construction of the house, a technique known as wattle and daub whereby young twigs are woven into an infrastructure then daubed in mud to create a cool, flexible (in case of earthquake, hurricane etc), replenishable and fairly durable wall...not too durable, as you can see.
