Castles: a Millennium of Warfare, Power and Splendor
From Spain’s borders to the Swiss Alps, from the Scottish moors to the Dordogne, this film journeys through a thousand years of castle history. Using stunning 3D models, it reveals how these fortresses evolved—from 11th-century strongholds of feudal power to symbols of luxury and royal authority. Witness the clash of siege tactics and architecture, the rise of artillery, and the decline of castles as military power shifted to fortified cities and standing armies.
