Europe’s Castles Explained: Living Inside Medieval Strongholds | Full Documentary

Описание: Castles were the ultimate symbols of power in medieval Europe, but life behind their walls was far removed from romantic legends. This documentary explores how castles developed from simple wooden fortifications around 1000 AD into massive stone strongholds that dominated the landscape of Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Built during a time when security depended on force, castles served as fortified homes, administrative centers, and economic hubs.

Through detailed archaeological evidence and historical research, the film reveals everyday life inside castles, from crowded sleeping quarters and smoky kitchens to ingenious heating systems and surprisingly advanced sanitation. Case studies such as Windsor Castle, Castle Eltz, and Burghausen show how social hierarchy, family conflict, and constant threats of war shaped daily routines. By separating myth from reality, this documentary offers a rare look at how people truly lived, worked, and survived inside Europe’s medieval bastions of power.
