Great Castles of Europe

Season 2

Beginning to think about locks today, we imagine enormous banquet halls, crack of firewoods in a fire-place, romantic times of noble knights and wonderful ladies. In actual fact, rooms look like caves needed for wintering of live-stock. Smoke from a pipe got in rooms, and wonderful ladies and noble knights took a bath rarely.
