A House and A Host: Castle Howard with Nicholas Howard

One of England's most exalted addresses and famously the setting for the film, Brideshead Revisited, Castle Howard is instantly recognisable the world over. Built at the turn of the 18th century, the Yorkshire castle was designed by titans of English architecture, John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor, and bears all the hallmarks and secrets of their mastery.
“It's a journey into beauty. Everywhere you go, everywhere you look, there’s beauty," says Nicholas Howard, whose family have lived at Castle Howard for more than 300 years. Join Nick for an intimate tour of this magnificent space, including the castle's rarely seen private quarters, recently redecorated by Anglo-American decorator, Remy Renzullo.

Fabulous! We visited Castle Howard a couple of years ago. When I entered the magnificent hall, I was blown away by its vast cathedral-like presence. The rest of my visit was enchanting, ending with a wonderful wander around the ground. A beautiful place, in obviously competent and loving hands!

I first became familiar with Castle Howard from watching Brideshead Revisited many years ago. 🏰

[@jenniszafranski6360]

Absolutely breathtaking! I could watch this over and over, and probably will...

Exquisitely beautiful

[@FRASERMCGREGOR72]

The quality of this film is breathtaking. You have captured some moments of elegance and beautifully put together rooms and spaces that look comfortable and inviting. The interview was engaging and it was all over too fast. I could listen for hours to this gentleman and spend months looking at each and every object in this beautiful home. Wonderful - I loved this so much - thank you for making and sharing this.

In my dreams, I have gothic revival manor house on 4,000 acres in the English countryside. Not *this* big though. 😂

Castle Howard designed by Sir John Vanbrugh who brought English Baroque style to culmination. Years later he designed Blenheim Palace, the home to the 12th Duke of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, which is the greatest palace of Britain.

Those broken tiles at 5:30 :(

[@mikehill3728]

I'm sure a lot of us picked up the sub-text with the comments about Antinous, and he must have been quite beautiful indeed

[@kyleanuar9090]

Antinous bust is beautiful and no wonder he's the most made figures in the ancient Romans world

Not shy to throw people under the bus the old boy. I'd be fascinated to get the brother's side of the story.

[@kevinchambers1101]

It wasn't pretty.

[@moritzjohanneskellner7125]

And watching it, you wish that the makers of this video would have put only a tiny fraction of their effort to create those breathtaking images into the music as well. Those ready-made fake sounds are really unworthy.

[@michaellindquist6011]

Agreed. The music competed with the narrative at times. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video very much.
