About Waddesdon Manor
Waddesdon Manor is an extraordinary French Renaissance-style chateau located in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, approximately 14 miles from Bicester and 25 miles from Oxford.
Built between 1874 and 1889 by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, a member of the prominent Rothschild banking family, the manor is renowned for its opulent architecture, exquisite interiors, and extensive collections of art and decorative objects.
Set amidst picturesque gardens and parklands, Waddesdon Manor offers visitors a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the late 19th-century European aristocracy.
Today, it is managed by the Rothschild Foundation, a family charitable trust, on behalf of the National Trust, which took over ownership in 1957. It serves as a cultural destination, hosting exhibitions, events, and educational programs while maintaining its status as one of England’s most cherished historic houses.
