Description
Waddesdon Manor is a French Renaissance-style chateau, built in the 1870s by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild to entertain the fashionable world and house his impressive art collection. Waddesdon Manor was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild between 1874 and 1885 to display his collection of arts and to entertain the fashionable world. Opened to the public in 1959, Waddesdon Manor is managed by the Rothschild Foundation, a family charitable trust, on behalf of the National Trust, who took over ownership in 1957. It’s home to the Rothschild Collections of paintings, sculpture and decorative arts. Make the most of your visit. Take a stroll in the Gardens, explore the paintings, furniture, porcelain and tapestries collected by generations of Rothschilds in the House. Meet the Aviary Keeper and see the colourful birds housed in the ornate Aviary. Explore the Cellars storing over 13,000 bottles of Rothschild wines, and hear about their history and so much more.
