The castle is still in a terrible condition. At least it's under the roof and it's slowly getting at least the facade. Otherwise nothing to see.

The castle is in poor condition, but it is worth visiting. The parking lot is at the castle.

Pokud je co jíst a co pít, je hezky.

All honor to the enthusiasts of the association, who are trying to at least stop the decay. Good luck. And the tour is very interesting, because it shows the castle (and the castle) differently than what Hluboká looks like.

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.
