Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace is the main home of the Dukes of Marlborough and the only non-royal country house in England to hold the title of "palace". The palace was built between 1705 and 1722. Blenheim Palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

It has been the home to the Churchill family for about 300 years and was the birthplace of Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Britain during World War II. It is one of the most impressive houses in all of England!
