LI's Oheka Castle Named 3rd Most Beautiful Home In The World: 'We're Honored,' Family Says

HUNTINGTON, NY — Oheka Castle of Huntington is the third most beautiful stately home in the world, according to a study by interior experts at Swift Direct Blinds, a United Kingdom company.

The study pulled data on reviews of stately homes, searching for the word "beautiful." The word appears in 40.77% of reviews for Oheka Castle — the third highest on the blinds company's list.

"This castle is regarded as one of the most prestigious wedding venues in the U.S. — but it will cost you a small fortune to tie the knot here," the study wrote.

Only Castle Howard in North Yorkshire (47.06%) and Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire (44.44%) were listed as more beautiful than the Long Island landmark in the study.

"The Melius Family is honored to have OHEKA CASTLE chosen as the third most beautiful stately home in the world by UK company Swift Direct," Nancy Melius, the castle's director of marketing and interior design, told Patch. "We graciously appreciate the recognition for the years of investment and love endured to bring this magnificent historic estate and gardens back to life for today's visitors and those of future generations to enjoy."

Oheka Castle was also named the 16th most "Instagrammable" stately home in the world by Swift Direct Blinds, as it has been featured in 55,063 posts on the social media app.

Buckingham Palace of London was far and away the winner of the category, with 1,514,153 Instagram posts. The next highest was Edinburgh Castle in Edinburgh with 684,307.
