A cosy and personal location with a historical feeling. Works well in winter times due to floor heating. Associated facilities enable gatherings and possibilities to prepare food. Limited parking space.

Dogs are not allowed in the cemetery. What if the pet cemetery bans humans…

Össeby-Garn's church began to be built during the 13th century. It was named after Garnsviken, This church shows the art of building with stones

Likes the surroundings mainly but also the church. Some distance away, I don't say where or how far away, I found an old well or spring(?).

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.
