 Constructed
in 1934 - 1936 by silent movie actor, Francis Lederer and his wife, Marion,
it was originally built as a horse stable housing Mrs. Lederer's horse,
Gypsy. In 1967, Mrs. Lederer along with Mary and Obdulio Galeana and Jody
Hutchison opened the Canoga Mission Gallery, featuring folk art and
artifacts from Mexico. The building was named a Historical Cultural Monument
#135 on December 4, 1974 by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission.
The stone and adobe building replicates the style of the original California
missions. With 1.5 acres of exquisite shaded grounds and gently meandering
stone paths, the monument has a Spanish-style roof and was built of stone
quarried on their ranch located across the street.
Now occupied by The Hidden Chateau & Gardens , it is a popular site for parties, weddings, teas, and corporate events. While brick and stone architecture lend a rustic appeal, a colonnade of graceful archways lead into an elegant garden with a gazebo. Many native plants line the cobblestone pathway, and an authentic wagon rests on its iron wheels among colorful flowers in the garden. Customers are welcomed to this "Storybook Destination" where one can shop in an intimate setting and relax in a cozy, rustic atmosphere among the several trickling fountains in the garden. Our Store Inside the building the various rooms of our store contain American and International antiques, as well as eclectic furnishings for home and garden. Each stall represents a different theme of
decor ranging from Movie Memorabilia to Victorian to Country to Wrought Iron
Accents. Handmade items from local artists are also featured, such as
jewelry and small unique paintings. Testimonial "Nadira and I had the most beautiful and terrific wedding at the Hidden Chateau & Gardens. Our day was filled with joy and the breathtaking garden has created a memory that will last a lifetime.
