Blenheim Palace is the family estate of the Dukes of Marlborough, one of the largest palace and park ensembles in England. Located on the outskirts of Woodstock in Oxfordshire. Since 1987 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built in 1705-1724 in a baroque style, rare for England, designed by John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor as the residence of the first Duke of Marlborough and his wife Sarah. It got its name in honor of the Duke's victory over the French at Blenheim. In 1874, a descendant of the Duke, Winston Churchill, was born in the palace.

In addition to a tour of the baroque-style castle, there is also an interesting and recommendable exhibition about the British politician Winston Churchill.
