Absolutely stunning in its grandeur, Blenheim Palace is bedecked with 24 k gilding everywhere you turn. Winston Churchill was born here, and buried in the chapel there.
It has been continuously occupied by the Duke of Marlborough since John Churchill was made Duke for winning the Battle of Blenheim against the French.
Queen Ann was very grateful, as the defeat out England on top.
During World War II, MI-5, the British intelligence, worked there.
The reason that Blenheim and Buckingham Palace were never bombed is because Hitler was saving Buckingham for himself and saving Blenheim Palace for Goering!
