Bälinge Church

Uppsala, Sweden

Bälinge Church is a medieval church in Bälinge, Uppsala Municipality. The church was built at the end of the 13th century and has been substantially altered on several occasions. It derives much of its present appearance from changes made during the 18th century and during a large reconstruction carried out in 1874-88.

The church interior contains two sets of murals, one dating from the early 15th century and another made later in the same century by the workshop of Albertus Pictor or an artist influenced by him. The church also contains two notable medieval altarpieces, one of which may originally have been placed in Uppsala Cathedral as a side altar.

It's alright. It suffers from being located quite near other, more beautiful churches. It is also in need of some TLC.

Probably one of Uppland's most beautiful churches.

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.
