A birds-eye view of Vanbrugh's plans for Castle Howard in England from Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus. The central block and the wings to the left were built as proposed. The wing to the right of the central block was built a few decades later in a different form. The courtyard next to it and the wing furthest to the right, which were the stables, were not built at all. A detached stable block was built a few hundred yards from the house instead. The grand entrance gateways shown were not built.
