HOUSE
Waddesdon Manor was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild between 1874 and 1885 to display his collection of arts and to entertain his friends. It is now open to the public and we welcome thousands of visitors each year who come to appreciate the exceptional architecture, art collections and gardens.
Throughout the main season, we host regular behind-the-scenes and collection highlights tours with our talented staff. Learn more and book by clicking the link below.
