Book launch: Jewish Country Houses

We are pleased to let you know about the launch of this book at Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue on Thursday evening 5 December at 7.45pm.

Beautifully illustrated with historical images by the celebrated photographer Hélène Binet, this landmark book takes readers from the playful historicism of the National Trust’s Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire to the modernist masterpiece that is the Villa Tugendhat in the Czech city of Brno – and across the Atlantic to the United States, where American Jews infused the European country house tradition with their own distinctive concerns and experiences.

Through a series of striking case studies this revelatory book explores the world of Jewish country houses, their architecture and collections – and the lives of the extraordinary men and women who created, transformed and shaped them.

When you purchase a book at the event, enjoy a special discount of £5.00 off.

The event is £5 for HGSS members and £10 for non-members
