Linnerup Church

Hedensted, Denmark

The original Romanesque Linnerup Church is changed much in recent times. Only the choir has been preserved, its outer walls were in 1880 walled with small bricks. A Romanesque window is still seen as a niche in the eastern wall. The dilapidated nave was broken down and rebuilt in 1866. The tower was built at the same time.

In the choir is built a late Gothic cross vault, the nave has a boarded tagstol (roof stool) (changed in 1893). The choir vault has late Gothic frescoes. The altarpiece is a painting from 1893. Romanesque granite font with a rough rope winding along the edge. A pulpit in Renaissance style dates from c. 1600 with a new partiel decoration.

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.
