Castles and Palaces of Europe
Castles and Palaces of Europe
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 in them.
Piedmont in Italy
From the 16th to the 18th centuries, the Dukes of Savoy surrounded Turin with a 'crown' of residencies.
Loire Valley in France
The former hunting lodge of Beauregard houses an astonishing portrait gallery.
Baden Württemberg in Germany
Our journey starts with Hohenzollern Castle, the cradle of the last Prussian reigning family and a symbol of their power: an eagle’s nest, perched on a green peak.
Estremadura in Portugal
The Palacio da Pena dominates Lisbon and the Atlantic coast with its eclectic Moorish- and Rococo-influenced architecture. The library, inside the Palacio Nacional de Mafra, contains over 4,000 works.
Southern England
On the Isle of Wight, the baroque ruins of Appuldurcrombe House, bombed during World War 2, are famous for their ghosts.
