Blenheim Palace is the birthplace of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who was born here in 1874. However, the story of this place begins much earlier, in 1701, when John Churchill led the victory over the French army at the Battle of Blenheim. In 2025, 75 years after opening its doors to the public, we came to visit this beautiful property. All the details are available in this post.
