Labassa in Caulfield North is a beautiful National trust mansion/museum built in 1862 and lived in by more than 700 residents over an 130 year period.nnLabassa mansion stands as a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the 19th century. As I stepped through its doors during the twilight open house viewing, I was immediately struck by the striking architectural details and the palpable sense of history that permeated every corner.nnThe mansion's meticulously preserved interiors, adorned with intricate period furnishings and stunning ornate ceilings, offered a glimpse into a bygone era of wealth and extravagance. Labassa is one of few Victorian era mansions to survive with its interiors relatively intact. It was evident that Labassa was more than just a building; it was a living museum, where each room whispered stories of its past inhabitants.nnGuided by knowledgeable volunteers, the tour brought the history of Labassa to life. With each step, I learned more about the families who built and once called this mansion home and the societal intricacies of the time. The guide's passion for the mansion's history was infectious, making the experience both educational and engaging.nnBefore the tour commenced, we had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful box of sandwiches and cake in the mansion's front garden. The serene surroundings provided the perfect prelude to the evening ahead, allowing me to soak in the beauty of Labassa's exterior before delving into its rich interior.nnHowever, amidst the grandeur, there was a hint of neglect. The upper floor of the mansion, which reflected the most recent residents who only moved out in the 1990s, appeared worn and tired in comparison to the luxurious rooms downstairs. Labassa definitely needs some funding and love to bring it up to the standard of the downstairs rooms, which boast original ceilings, wallpaper, pieces of furniture and lighting.nnDespite this, my twilight visit to Labassa Mansion was a truly memorable experience. From the captivating interiors to the knowledgeable guides and serene gardens, every aspect of the evening was meticulously curated to provide visitors with a glimpse into Melbourne's architectural and historical heritage. Whether you're a history buff, an architectural enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique cultural experience, Labassa Mansion is a must-visit destination.
Stunning historical mansion, open days are held every third Sunday, best to book tickets in advance. The guides conduct tours of the house every hour, but you can explore on your own. Tea room cafe in the courtyard has some lovely scones and cake.
Great evening tour, started with delicious snacks and then a wonderful tour inside and outside this incredible place. The interior in particular is little changed from the turn of the 20th century. Really marvellous. I have been more than once
Labassa Mansion in Melbourne is a striking piece of architectural history, an ode to opulence and grandeur. This beautifully preserved mansion, complete with its intricate period interiors and stunning ornate ceiling, immediately transports visitors back to the 19th century. The rich history of Labassa is felt in every corner, and the knowledgeable guides ensure the stories of past residents come to life. The surrounding gardens are well-kept, offering a perfect backdrop for the imposing structure. However, limited opening times may not suit all schedules. Overall, Labassa is a must-visit for history buffs and architectural enthusiasts visiting Melbourne.
Lovely few hours walking around, learning, going up the tour and enjoying some afternoon tea! Open once/month
