Primda Castle

Přimda, Czech Republic

Přimda castle dates from the early 12th century and represents early Romanesque architecture. The castle is probably of German origin, not similar to Czech buildings from this period, but strikingly reminiscent of period Bavarian buildings. The remains of a Romanesque residential tower and the castle bastion invite you not only to see the ruins, but also to look into the beautiful surrounding landscape of the Bohemian Forest.

Ruins not a castle, but it is a romantic and interesting place. Visit is possible with the guide - recommended

Fun little excursion just into the Czech Republic. It's little more than a ruin, but makes for an impressive sight from the highway. A short walk up, the view is over an impressive landscape. There's an interesting medieval toilet in the wall of the castle ruin proper.

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.
