A nice church with a beautiful cemetery

Another church that, to my disappointment, was closed. I can understand that it can be difficult to always be open, but there should be information about possible opening hours. The cemetery was well maintained and there was a sense of calm when you walked there. Will see if the church is open next time I come here.

Unfortunately the church was closed. But I think the church was very nice and the architecture was very nice. The cemetery was, in my opinion, very well maintained and around the graves and tombstones there was generally order. Hope to come back on occasion when Västerhaninge church is open for visitors.

The older church in Haninge pastorate, where the staff is very nice. Very beautiful concerts are played here, the services are also very nice and I highly recommend visiting the church either for a service or another activity.

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.
