I am a Taiwanese who is interested in German history. but I do not understand.Why is it called Fort Großfürst Konstantin? Konstantin Pavlovich is Russian.Why is the German castle named after the Russian nobility?

Nice place with a beautiful view over Koblenz. Unfortunately, it's not always accessible so please have a look on the website first. We were there for a wine festival with live music. What an appropriate spot!

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.
