The imposing architecture of Castle Howard was constructed from 1699 for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle, and took over one.
Sadly, much of the original house did not survive into the modern day due to extensive fire damage in 1940. A large amount of the building had to be restored and has since been brought back to life via the long and tireless project of restoration that ensued. The east wing however remains a shell.
The survival of the house today is owed to George Howard’s efforts in the 20th century. After the Howard family suffered devastating losses during the Second World War, the estate was expected to be divided and sold. George returned from war wounded and miraculously undertook the task of rebuilding and restoring the house however, in 1952 opening the estate to the public.
