Waddesdon Manor

Waddesdon Manor is a French Renaissance-style chateau built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in 1874 to entertain the fashionable world and to house his collection of fine art. We're continuing the tradition today of entertainment and hospitality with events celebrating food and wine, and opportunities for you to explore our history, collections and gardens throughout the year. Step back in time in the Victorian style gardens and enjoy vibrant colours on the parterre. Visit rare and exotic birds housed in the Rococo-style Aviary, or become an adventurer in the Woodland Playground which winds through the trees.
