Waddesdon Manor

Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, creator of Waddesdon, loved France and French art. In 1874, with his French architect Destailleur and his landscape gardener Lain, he built this Renaissance style chäteau. Over thirty five years Ferdinand lovingly assembled from all over Europe an outstanding collection of paintings, furniture, carpets and curiosities to please his weekend guests. Outside, his creation included a Victorian formal garden, parkland, Rococo-style aviary, winding walks, colourful trees and panoramic views.

Waddesdon also has one of the finest Victorian Gardens in Britain, famous for its landscape of specimen trees, parterre and striking displays of seasonal bulbs and bedding plants.
