Woodchester Mansion, Gothic Revival manor in Woodchester, England
This limestone mansion displays unfinished interiors with exposed construction elements, missing floors, and incomplete plastering across multiple floors and rooms.
Construction of the mansion began in 1857 under architect Benjamin Bucknall, but work ceased in 1870 following financial difficulties of the Leigh family.
The mansion represents Victorian architectural practices through its visible stone carvings of local flora and fauna decorating walls and corridors.
The mansion opens for guided tours at specific times throughout the year, with adult admission priced at 11 pounds including access to all accessible areas.
The building serves as a sanctuary for over 200 greater horseshoe bats, which visitors can observe through dedicated CCTV systems installed in the attic.
