Between 1922 and 1973 the Catholic Church operated a seminary at Werribee Park, in a combination of the original Mansion and new purpose built additions. One of these buildings was St Joseph’s Wing, which is now occupied by Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park. The State Government purchased this unique property in 1973 to ensure its preservation and restoration, and it opened as a historical tourist attraction managed by Parks Victoria in 1977. Visitors can step into the beautifully restored 60 room Italianate mansion of the Victorian era. Visitors can take a self guided tour of the mansion and outbuildings or with an audio handset telling the history and stories behind each room. Formal Gardens Explore the 10 hectares of historic formal gardens including registered century old trees, colourful parterre, ornamental lake and one of Australia’s last surviving grottos. Victoria State Rose Garden Spend some time smelling the 5,500 roses in the 5 hectare Tudor Rose shaped garden. Roses are in bloom from November to April. Original Farmyard Take a stroll to the farm area. Rustic bluestone outbuildings, once abuzz with workers and activity, provide a stark contrast to the elaborate craftsmanship of the Chirnside Mansion. Riverine Area The riverine is a natural and cultural treasure. Koori history along Wirribi Yaluk, known today as Werribee River, dates back over 40,000 years with acknowledged cultural heritage sites providing an insight into the Wurundjeri people and their relationship with mother earth.
