The property at Drewsteignton is one of 20 National Trust properties and landscapes which are now seen on the website. Over 20 historic locations across the UK - including castles, landscapes and country houses - have been scanned by means of a panoramic camera, bolted to the back of a tricycle, and added to Google's online mapping service.
The images give a 360 degree ground level tour of the outside of the National Trust sites through a tour at www.maps. google.co.uk/streetview.
Property manager David Bailey said: "Google Street View will allow even more people to see what the castle has to suggest.
"It's incredible to think that people from around the world, who might never be able to travel to the UK, will be able to benefit from a virtual visit to D rogo."
Ed Parsons, geospatial technologist from Google, said: "Places like Castle Drogo suggest all of us a special glimpse of the history, nature and architecture up and down the country.
"We were delighted to be able to open up some of the UK's most renowned landmarks to the rest of the world, via the web."
