I think the castle/castle is very beautiful. I lived there for a year while I was studying. The castle is owned by the Eben von Racknitz family. The castle has its own castle chapel. During my training there, there were many festivals organized by the family. Others could also rent the hall for a celebration. A great location.

I thank the owner for not letting me this half-ruined apartment back then, otherwise I would still be trapped there.

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.
