Buda Historic Home & Garden is one of the great heritage assets of the Goldfields region. Buda was built in 1861 and from 1863 was the home of noted silversmith Ernest Leviny and his family. Complete with the family's art and craft collections, furnishings and domestic effects. The gracious historic home that is surrounded by one of the most important large 19th century suburban gardens surviving in Victoria, was home to a remarkably creative Leviny family for a period of 118 years from 1863.
In the house over this summer there is a cameo exhibition "Kate Leviny (1877-1963) Photographer." Photographic equipment used by Kate will be on display alongside a selection of her more memorable artistic photographs, some of which were published in The Australian Photo-Review magazine between 1914 and 1922.
With three acres of enchanting gardens to explore, there is much to see and do. The plant nursery offers for sale a wide range of heritage trees, shrubs, roses and ground covers ideally suited for our current drought conditions. Or you can purchase some local produce and delightful craft items from Buda's Gift shop.
Visitors can be assured of a very warm welcome to Buda Historic Home & Garden at any time of the year.
