Nothing says holiday time quite like a gingerbread house, and now London cookie company Biscuiteers has taken it to the next level, putting all other gingerbread houses to shame with their incredible creation.

You have to see what their talented crew has created — possibly the most intricate gingerbread house ever made.

The design is based on a real-life estate named Waddesdon Manor. Sound familiar? It should! The exterior is used in popular TV show “Downton Abbey” and it has also appeared in other television shows and movies as well.

Not only is the end result of the gingerbread manor amazing to behold, the video of the preparation and building is mesmerizing.
