Waddesdon Manor, Renaissance Revival country house in Waddesdon, England
The stone exterior of Waddesdon Manor features towers, intricate carvings, and numerous windows arranged across multiple levels of the grand residence.
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild commissioned architects Hippolyte Destailleur and Elie Lainé to build this French château-style mansion between 1874 and 1889.
The manor contains extensive collections of European decorative arts, including French royal furniture, paintings, and porcelain assembled by the Rothschild family.
