Waddesdon Manor is a country house located in the Aylesbury Vale, 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 as a weekend residence. The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild, who bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust. Waddesdon Manor is now administered by a charitable trust that is overseen by Jacob Rothschild. It is one of the National Trust's most visited properties, with around 335,000 visitors annually.Photograph: David Iliff
