What’s it like to live in a Baroque castle?

Living in a castle sounds like a fairytale — but what is it really like? Meet Victoria and Nicholas Howard, who call the iconic Castle Howard in Yorkshire, England their home — a place you might recognize as a filming location for Netflix’s “Bridgerton.” With nearly 150 rooms, centuries of family history and over 300,000 visitors a year, this castle isn’t just a dream house — it’s also a full time business. From endless hallways and historic tapestries to energy bills, public tours and very little privacy, Victoria and Nicholas share the beauty and the challenges of living inside a real castle.
