It is on a small hill surrounded by forest. Part of the height of the exterior walls and some of the interior structure remain standing.

Well preserved ruins. The best, the walk through the forest.

Ruins of a castle in a beautiful location. It is partially restored and is very easy to get to. There are picnic areas nearby.

Partially restored remains of what was a castle located on an old Castro. It has beautiful views, a sentry box, the base of the keep and a moat or water tank. A hiking trail starts from there, and there are some picnic areas near the river.

Encontramos ese rinconcito por casualidad. Lugar con encanto para pasear ya que tiene bosque y ruta de senderismo entre árboles y sombra, que con calor se agradece. Bonita leyenda/historia relacionada con el castillo y el mismísimo apóstol Santiago!!!

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.
