In honor of Caramoor's founder's, Walter and Lucie Rosen, the family residence, formerly known as the House Museum, has been renamed the Rosen House at Caramoor.

The incomparable Rosen House,  built around a central courtyard, is the former summer home of Caramoor's founders Lucie Bigelow and Walter Tower Rosen. Resembling a Mediterranean villa, Rosen House was designed by Walter Rosen, with assistance from the architect Christian Rosborg, and was built between 1929 and 1939 to showcase the collection the Rosens had amassed through the years: Renaissance, 18th century, and Eastern art objects and furnishings - tapestries, sculpture, paintings, textiles, furniture, exquisite wall coverings, stained glass, Urbino Maiolica, and a major jade collection.  Entire rooms were imported from European palaces and country manors. Today, nineteen rooms are open to the public.  Every year we offer a new exhibition.

I would like our blood and our lives to be the seed of a beautiful thing that many people would be happier for.

GARDENS
Visitors to Caramoor are usually astounded by the unique gardens found at this world-famous music venue.

The Caramoor estate sprawls over 90 lovely acres that were designed to be a jewel-like setting for musical events held there, as well as a place for pleasurable strolling and picnicking. Unlike other gardens in the area, Caramoor's were planned to enhance the site's Renaissance sensibility.
