St Aeddan Church

Usk, United Kingdom

The Church of St Aeddan, Bettws Newydd, is a fifteenth-century church of twelfth-century origin. The interior contains perhaps the most complete rood arrangement remaining in any church in England and Wales. The rood screen, loft and tympanum are all in situ. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales considers that the screen is 'most remarkable' and 'probably unique in the British Isles'.

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.
