Castle Howard is a stately home in North Yorkshire, England, 15 miles (24 km) north of York. It is a private residence, and has been the home of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for more than 300 years.
Building of Castle Howard began in 1699 and took over 100 years to complete to a design by Sir John Vanbrugh for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle.
Castle Howard is not a fortified structure, but the term "castle" is also used for English country houses erected on the site of a former military castle.
Today, it is part of the Treasure Houses of England group of heritage houses. - in: wikipedia
