Excerpt from Wikipedia.org.
Castle Howard is a stately home in North Yorkshire, England, 15 miles north of York. It is a private residence, and has been the home of the Carlisle branch of the Howard Family for more than 300 years.
Castle Howard is not a fortified structure, but the term 'castle' is also used for English Country houses erected on the site of a former military castle.
Building of Castle Howard began in 1699 and took over 100 years to complete to a design by Sir John Vanbrugh for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle. The site was that of the ruined Hernderskelfe Castle, which had come into the Howard family in 1566 through the marriage of Thomas, 4th Duke of Norfolk to Elizabeth Leyburne, widow of Thomas, 4th Baron Dacre.
Coordinates: 54°7'17"N 0°54'21"W (grid reference SE7170)

This build, thankfully, didn't take 100 years to put together. I tried to show it's structure based on what i could see on Google Maps©.
