    Blenheim Palace is a monumental country house situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. It is the principal residence of the Dukes of Marlborough, and the only non-royal non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace.

    The palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1722. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

    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.
