Enemy At The Gates

Original title: "Burgen - Mythos und Wahrheit"; German edition has 4 episodes –Impregnable fortresses, homes of the rich and beautiful, magnificent buildings brimming with power – no other type of building symbolises an epoch as representative as the castle symbolises the European Middle Ages. The first castles are wooden towers on fortified hills. But different designs are quickly developing in Europe: in France and Britain rather compact, in German-speaking countries with high mountain keep. But they are used everywhere to secure regions.
