It is located in a nice, quiet place, on a small hilltop, unfortunately it was closed, we couldn't go inside.

Advance telephone consultation is required, but the locals are very kind

We visited this gem while searching for our memories of the Árpád era. We were lost in front of the gate, when a nice gentleman came and let us into the church. The church is also beautiful from the inside, the original frescoes have been wonderfully preserved. Anyone interested in our past should definitely visit here.

Nice church in a similarly beautiful setting.

Such an interesting little church! You can see the layers of its centuries of history preserved on the wall frescoes. A must see if you are in the area, even if medieval churches are not your interest. It has that sort of character that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something off the beaten path.

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.
