There are some places in the world that are so special that they often form the background for our beloved film and series epics. The sets often tell their own story long before the cameras start rolling. Here are some of the most breathtaking filming locations that served as filming locations more than once:
It’s not uncommon for films and series to share filming locations. Sometimes there are famous landmarks that appear again and again, but sometimes inconspicuous places that suddenly find themselves in very different stories. Here are some interesting overlaps you may not have noticed!

„Harry Potter“: Who wouldn’t want to roam the majestic halls of Hogwarts?„Downton Abbey“: The same place transforms into the Crawleys’ opulent home, full of style and history.
Hatfield House, Hertfordshire, England

Vasquez Rocks, Kalifornien, USA

Good backdrops are flexible and adapt to different stories. But good films can also tell completely different stories in the same place. That’s the magic of the film.
