WADDESDON, Rothschild Collections. National Trust. Places to visit - Lugares para visitar.
Waddesdon Manor es una casa de campo situada en el pueblo de Waddeston, en el condado de Buckinghamshire, Inglaterra. La casa fue construida en una colina con vistas al pueblo de Waddesdon, en estilo neo-renacentista de castillo francés, entre 1874 y 1889, como finca de recreo para el Barón Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839-1898), miembro de la familia de banqueros Rothschild. El arquitecto fue Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur.
Hoy en día Waddesdon es propiedad del National Trust, pero recientemente, tras una intensiva restauración, ha sido y continua siendo administrado por la familia Rothschild encabezada por Jacob, 4º Barón de Rothschild.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898). The house, set in formal gardens and an English landscape park, was built on a barren hilltop overlooking Waddesdon village.
The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild. He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust in 1957. Today, following an extensive restoration, it is administered by a Rothschild charitable trust that is overseen by Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild. In 2007–08 it was the National Trust's second most visited paid-entry property, with 386,544 visitors.
History of Waddesdon Manor
History of Waddesdon Manor (Rothschild Collections)
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839-1898) bought the Waddesdon Estate - originally nothing but farmland - in 1874. He wanted a country retreat built in the style of a Loire châteaux and soon engaged the French architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. The foundation stone was laid in 1877. The completion of the Bachelors' Wing in 1880 and the main part of the house in 1883 were celebrated with house parties of twenty guests.
Waddesdon was created as a place to entertain guests at Ferdinand's famous 'Saturday to Monday' house parties. They enjoyed all the modern comforts of running water, central heating and electricity. Ferdinand's guests included figures from the social circle around the Prince of Wales, politics, and culture.
After a few years, Ferdinand discovered that the House was too small for the number of guests and added a wing at the west end of the House. The large Morning Room on the ground floor and two bedroom suites above it were finished in 1891.
Miss Alice de Rothschild
Ferdinand’s sister, Alice (1847-1922), inherited Waddesdon on his death. She saw her role as the protector of his creation and is best remembered for her strict housekeeping rules that ensured the preservation of the collection. She was a passionate gardener and was responsible for the three-dimensional bedding still seen at Waddesdon in the summer.
When she died, the estate passed to her Parisian great-nephew James de Rothschild (1878-1957) and his English wife, Dorothy (1895-1988). Changes on the estate reflected their particular interests with the construction of a golf course and a stud for racehorses. During the Second World War, the Rothschilds moved into the Bachelors' Wing, leaving the main House to children evacuated from London.
Bequeathed to the National Trust
After the war, James was increasingly ill and he began to consider Waddesdon’s fate after his death. Having no descendants, and with the end of the era of grand country house entertaining, he decided to leave the Manor, its collections of national importance and 165 acres of garden and park to The National Trust. To maintain the bequest, he set up the largest endowment the Trust has ever received and ensured the family’s continued involvement by naming his wife as the chairwoman of the management committee.
Dorothy de Rothschild oversaw the complicated arrangements for opening the ground floor to the public in 1959, with additional areas added over the next 30 years. In 1984 she began the Centenary restoration with essential repairs to the fabric of the Manor.
Restoration programme
This restoration programme was greatly expanded when Lord Rothschild took over the management of Waddesdon after her death. The Manor was closed from 1990 to 1994 for an extensive interior and exterior restoration to update the services and create exhibition and entertainment spaces on the first and second floors, and the Wine Cellars.
Attention was also paid to the Garden. The Parterre was restored and other 19th century garden features were recreated. More recently the Aviary has been renovated and the Coach House and the Stables converted into a gallery for the exhibition of contemporary art.

A lavish country pile built by 19th century French architect Destailleur, but in the style of his own native chateaux in the Loire Valley. The manor with its exquisite collection of treasures formed the home of Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. The Rothschild Family are still very much involved at Waddesdon, but the property is open to the public and managed by the National Trust.

Harlaxton Manor
As seen on SkyEye Britain - LAUNCHING IN EARLY 2013! - skyeye-app.com
This little-known country manor house is one of the most outrageous houses in Britain. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was a flamboyant statement from the 17th century. It's actually two centuries younger.

Day in the Life of Waddesdon Manor
Visitors to Waddesdon Manor follow in the footsteps of Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild's Victorian high society house guests. A young widower, Ferdinand poured his passion into collecting, and he created the Manor as a place to entertain and to show off his art treasures. His collection of French decorative arts, English and Dutch paintings can still be admired in the rooms at Waddesdon today.
Displays of personal artefacts tell the story of Ferdinand and his famous Rothschild family. Outside, the Parterre dazzles with colourful carpet bedding; rare birds call from the ornate Aviary, and sculptures classical and contemporary dot the grounds. The Manor's French chateau style still has the power to surprise and delight.
Open March-October, Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm, and from mid-November to New Year for special Christmas season.
