Very beautiful church in the city center. Clean, bright and spacious. Catholic. On the day when we visited the church next to it, a bus arrived on the square with children's toys like they used to be at fairs. Cars, stilts, crossbow, slide. It was interesting not only for children

Very beautiful Alexanderskirche in the old town of Zweibrücken! The very beautiful Alexanderskirche is a late Gothic hall church located in the old town of Zweibrücken and should not be missed on a sightseeing tour. We are therefore happy to recommend this worthwhile sight to others!

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.
