Västergarn Church

Gotland, Sweden

The building of Västergarn Church was started around 1250, and it comprises no more than a chancel. Economic troubles put a stop to the building of the rest of the church. There is also a foundation of another church and the remains of a medieval defence tower.

Was on "Jazz in summer evening". Nice arrangement by the Church of Sweden, Klinte pastorate. Three musicians. A saxophone, an acoustic electric guitar, a bass violin. Great turn for an hour and great solo episodes. Voluntary admission.

Very beautiful church with a welcoming cemetery. Extra great praise to the congregation that the church was also open early when I visited. Would very much like to visit the church at a service. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful sacred place!

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
