Missenden Abbey, Medieval abbey and country house in Great Missenden, England

The structure features vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and Gothic architecture elements within 10 acres of landscaped grounds in Buckinghamshire.

The monastery, established in 1133 by William de Missenden, transformed into a country house in 1574 following the dissolution of monasteries in 1538.

The Arrouaisian Suite maintains its original medieval characteristics while hosting contemporary events, weddings, and gatherings throughout the year.

The property contains 57 ensuite bedrooms, 22 meeting rooms, and conference facilities that accommodate up to 100 people in theater-style arrangements.

After a devastating fire in 1985, the building underwent complete reconstruction while preserving its Regency Gothic architectural style from the 19th century.
