Ånimskog Church

Ånimskog, Sweden

The oldest parts of the Ånimskog church (a square floor area) were built in the early 13th century by an unknown master. In the beginning of the 17th century the eastern gable was removed and the church was enlarged to the east.

The roof paintings were completed in 1739 by Hans Georg Schäffner. The font, made of sandstone, date from the 13th century. The red wooden bell tower was built in 1731.

A particularly beautiful church where we were very kindly welcomed for the Sommarkvallsmusik. Enjoyed! Highly recommended to visit these music evenings.

Ånimskog's church is a church that surprised me. The small, beautiful church building is located in the Dalsland countryside, surrounded by agricultural landscapes and close to both forests and lakes. Outside the church area is a fantastic red-painted bell tower When I entered the church room, I was greeted by fantastic decorations and paintings. Very interesting.

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.
