Castles and Palaces of Europe

Stagione 1
Kings and Princes built their palaces and summer residences in the most beautiful and strategically located spots. We will introduce individuals who walk the tightrope between tradition and modern-day reality by living and working in castles, châteaux and palaces or in their immediate vicinity. They will open doors that are normally closed to the outside world and reveal captivating stories.

Over on the mainland, Blenheim Palace has gone down in history for more orthodox reasons: a gift from Queen Anne to the Duke of Marlborough in the 18th century, this building, which is imbued with history, is the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
