The House and Family

The Howard story is one of ambition, public service, liberal politics and artistic endeavours.

Home to the Howard family for over 300 years, Castle Howard is a masterpiece of ambition and creativity. Designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, it is celebrated for its dramatic Baroque architecture, richly layered interiors and world-class art collections.

Visitors experience the latest chapter of a once-in-a-generation restoration, including the revival of the lost Tapestry Drawing Room, while the House is open from spring to autumn and transformed each winter for Christmas.
