Exploring Castle Howard: The 10,000 Acre Home of Bridgerton | Houses with History

House & Garden presents Houses with History from Castle Howard, home to Netflix’s hit series ‘Bridgerton’. Join interior designer Remy Renzullo as we tour Castle Howard, designed by Sir John Vanbrugh and home to the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for over 300 years.
Remy takes us on a tour of the castle that is featured in popular TV shows - most notably as Clyvedon castle in Bridgerton - showing us private spaces usually unseen by the public, including the beautiful Temple of the Four Winds, as well as giving us his take on the spectacular 18th-century state rooms.

It's fun to watch Remy's accent starting off as English and them gradually as he relaxes drifts towards New Yorker.

[@SnartNik]

Maybe focus on the house, not the narrator.

[@AgneKuniutyte]

[@joelmontague5004]

i agree his accent threw me off so much it was almost distracting haha

[@MysteeriusFrend]

I completely agree. I've seen so many videos of this spectacular residence, but never encountered such a bizarrely unique accent that seemingly is generally changing somewhat frequently. 😂

[@neoafrican7460]

I''m with you on this one. I rarely ever read the comments on the internet, but I just had to know where this person came from because their accent absolutely confused me. Amazing house though and they've done an incredible job - strange accent and all - adding to its preservation for future generations.

[@Miriam3303]

I find it so funny that the title mentions Bridgerton. People seem to have forgotten that the house was featured in Brideshead Revisited (PBS, 1981).

[@BallymurphyBabe]

This was Brideshead Revisited way before Bridgerton!! I am a Howard. This Castle was in my ancestral family history.

[@sharonhsu1762]

I love that the family dog Poppy is in a lot of scenes! She looks like such a happy pup, of course who wouldn't be happy to live in such an elegantly designed and decorated estate?

[@tiffinyharrington9307]

What caught my eye (and I adore the bedroom and especially the fabrics of the blue bedroom) was the small portrait of the little girl as we were treated to a glimpse of the many treasures in the attic. Such a sweet little portrait.

[@SpanishEclectic]

It must be surreal to work at such a place. The blue bedroom is fabulous! And I agree about the terracotta color. There is a reason so many dining rooms are painted red. Everyone looks good while they are eating, especially by candlelight! It was weird to see him casually walking down those halls, which I still think of as haunts of Lord and Lady Marchmain.

[@evansbowen6897]

Love Castle Howard. It is a sacred place for me as Bridehead Revisited was one of the most influential experiences of my teenage years-one of my first glimpses of a wide and more beautiful world. I took a pilgrimage in 2009- what a beautiful and happy day

[@cassmetz]

I, as well, did a pilgrimage - in 1988 - because of Brideshead Revisited, one of the most influential experiences of my teenage years. A magical day for me to be on those grounds.

[@cassmetz]

I can still see Sebastian sauntering down those upper hallways to visit Nanny. And Charles and Julia sitting on the stairs when she breaks with him. Amazing to see the setting out of that context!

[@MrHappyGoLucky]

Beautiful home and beautiful decoration but interesting to hear Remy Renzullo’s over-the-top accent. He is an American from Connecticut. The affectation is comical.

[@jacksonvanmatre]

Very Dorit Kemsley. Tacky

[@Abbyyena]

Hmmm interesting lol. His accent was confusing me as he was speaking. Now I know why.

[@suewalker8586]

[@abigailbutcher9582]

I love how the only mention of Brideshead came about when the Queen's bed made an appearance. Like, "Oh, yeah. This monumental piece of television happened to be filmed here. Moving on!" But in all seriousness, thank you, H&G for showcasing this magical property. Brideheads will always have pride of place in my heart. And please follow up with them. I would love to see how the restoration unfolds. Last note: Please change your hashtags! Add #brideshead. It's a classic. And required reading/viewing for everyone.

I have never watched Brideshead so I had no idea Castle Howard appeared in show. Watching Bridgerton and seeing this beautiful castle is what peaked my interest in reading about the history. I love castles and hope to visit Castle Howard on my next London visit. Planning to tour all of the Bridgerton locations. Thank you for the video. ❤

[@kermitthefrog3632]

"Bridgerton" is not history, but pure woke fantasy.

[@jamesrightasrain795]

@@kermitthefrog3632 it’s just television. It’s not supposed to be real. You can dial down your indignation. Also, the history Ruth mentions is obviously of the house and not of England.

[@tamaracarter1836]

That sounds great! They used so many beautiful real life locations across England. I have done similar things for Pride and Prejudice (2005 and 1995), as well as Harry Potter (which actually used a very large number of gorgeous real life historic buildings). If you’re interested in either of those, I can send you my list of locations.

[@kermitthefrog3632]

@@jamesrightasrain795 How about you "dial down" your stupidity? It is cultural appropriation, but I suppose that only works in one direction... so typical. The history of the house is the history of England; it is representative and it is a history of White people. Perhaps we should have a White man play Kunte Kinte... after all, it's just television, isn't it? 🤡

[@pedanticradiator1491]

Castle Howard is about 250 miles from London

[@gracen888]

Thank you for letting us see the grandeur of this castle. I loved the China & porcelain cabinet. I can just imagine how magnificent it was during its hey day bustling with activities & people. I have goosebumps when I see some rooms or hallways. Thinking of ghosts of its inhabitants. On the restoration side, it's fascinating.

[@IMTHEBIGGESTCUNT]

I’ve been living in this house for the last 9 months, and honestly I’m sick to death of it. I literally live in 4 rooms, sometimes the attic space and nearest bathroom. I wouldn’t know if others had broken in and were living in other parts of the building! The heating doesn’t work and it gets VERY cold during the winter months. I usually order takeaway and have it delivered just so I don’t have to fire up the oven and so that the delivery driver can see my magnificent home! I work during the day, so Christ alone knows what goes on there whilst I’m away…

[@salviaofficinalis02]

Another, lesser known stately home, also located in Yorkshire - with thrice the length of the façade of Buckingham Palace, and what was once described by one author as possessing one of the most stunning, grandest of drawing rooms, libraries in England, as well as having been frequented by the likes of Royalty - and was subject to dispute whether or not it wasn't the real inspiration for Austen behind Pemberley - Wentworth Woodhouse - or the Buckingham Palace of the North - stands on it's own - with a mysterious charm and air to it - a diamond in the rough - just south of Castle Howard. Naturally it's incomparable to Castle Howard.
