Wonderful place to stay. My daughter and I stayed for a few days in the 3 bedroom apartment at the end of May. No one else was even there. This is a fantastic hidden gem. We will definitely stay again next tome in germany. My only regret was we were unable to stay longer. We ABSOLUTELY loved it!!!!

We just walked around the grounds and took few photos. We didn't go inside. Nice old castle. The brochure says you can rent the place for functions.

Just a courtyard, impressive building, would be cool to actually see more than just the courtyard though.

This place is seriously magnificent, I went there on a trip and was blown away by the historical background and nighttime lighting

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.
