Great place. Recommend.

Robert “Baggen” Högberg (3 years ago)
Incredibly beautiful area with fantastic environment and a castle with an intact moat. Note, however, that it is a private area for the most part, including the castle

Louise Lönn Ardefelt (3 years ago)
Beautiful environment and friendly staff! Now all that remains is to taste the must we bought.

En historisk plats , i full nutida verksamhet. Promenera i miljön. Tänk på att det är privat mark.

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.
