Snårestad Church

Ystad, Sweden

The original Snårestad church was built in the 13th century. It was abandoned in the 1860s and partially demolished. The village decided to build a new church to the same site and it was completed in 1925. The baptismal font, dating from the 12th century, is located to the new church. There is an unknown hill structure near the church. It may has been an ancient fortification or burial ground. Archaeologists have found several remains from the hill.

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.
