Castle Woodstock, England
From series “Amazing Ancient Fortresses Preserved to This Day”Year: 12th century.
The legendary Woodstock Castle is not only an ordinary historical building, but a true historical legend. Today it is the largest residential castle in the world. As early as the twelfth century, the strange love stories had taken place here. The most interesting legend of the castle is associated with the name of King Henry II Plantagenet. After one of the versions he has hidden his secret-loved Rozamunda Clifford for several years in one of the towers before his wife.
One could only get into the secret-tower through the narrow underground labyrinth. Even such precautionary measures did not help to keep the secret of the king secret. Rozamunda was in the castle. Thousands of visitors to the castle claim that they have seen their ghost wandering through narrow corridors. The spirit of mystery and romance prevails in the beautiful castle nowadays.
