Castle Howard's archive collection

Explore the awe inspiring  archives, containing a vast range of material including books, correspondence, diaries, papers, bills and notebooks, which document the life and times of Castle Howard and its inhabitants over the centuries.

It is a rich resource which underpins the curatorial research and exhibitions programme, and provides frequently extraordinary insights behind the scenes of Castle Howard.

The core of the picture collection was gathered by three generations in less than a century. The 3rd, 4th and 5th Earls each purchased widely and wisely as they toured Europe, but of all the Continental influences, the strongest was that of Italy.

And as with many collections, artworks have been bought and sold across the years, but Castle Howard’s collections retain outstanding works of Italian Heritage, displayed across the state rooms.

Castle Howard's Beautiful Farmland

Castle Howard has a rich urban history! Approximately 2,300 acres of the land are farmed on behalf of the Castle Howard Estate and the remainder is managed specifically for wildlife and habitat benefits! Not only this, but 3,200 acres are tenanted and let as nine fully equipped farm holdings!
