Filming Locations Guide: Where was Knightfall filmed?

Knightfall is a production of A+E Studios for History Channel, arriving after the great success of Vikings.

The series takes place between the 13th and 14th centuries, following the real events that led to the persecution and fall of the Knights Templar.

Part of the plot is set in Paris, after the loss of Jerusalem and Acre during the Crusades wars in the Holy Land.

This epic drama stars Tom Cullen as Landry, leader of the Order, Simon Merrells as the knight Tancrede, Pádraic Delaney as Gawain, Ed Stoppard as Philip IV of France, and Sabrina Barlett as Princess Isabella.

Knightfall was filmed in the Czech Republic and in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The show was headquartered at Barrandov Studios in Pruhonice near Prague.

A large set recreating medieval Paris was built in the exterior backlot of the studios. Here is a spoiler-free guide to the series filming locations:

The huge village set was almost completely destroyed by a fire, but filming continued after producers decided to rebuild the site.

The elaborate interiors of the chapel were also recreated in a soundstage here in Barrandov.
