A very nice, Renaissance church from 1635-44. A very interesting building in terms of architecture.

Rafał L. (16 months ago)
A beautiful place where you can definitely feel the souls of the Renaissance. The interior is beautiful. I recommend.

Sebastian Limek (18 months ago)
One of the most beautiful examples of the Lublin Renaissance, characterized by e.g. very decorative and distinctive attics, delicate, sandy-white colors, massive buttresses and an interior with stucco-covered vaults. In this church it is all there, and at the same time in the most outstanding form of it.

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.
