We explored the castle ourselves without a guide. That has its own charm. Wonderful view from the tower!

We got the key next door. Since we were alone, exploring the ruins had its own charm. Also very nice for photo opportunities

Beautiful castle ruins, unfortunately only from May 1st. open. Still had a great hike through the Jagsttal.

Spontaneous visit and ascent to the castle by bike in the cold, rain and wind. When we arrived at the top, we were welcomed by an extremely pleased gentleman from the castle association, who offered us a short tour, which we (five of us) gladly accepted. The gentleman's joy and enthusiasm spread directly to us - we were spontaneously impressed! When we were then offered wine and Italian cherries, we were smitten! Thank you again!!

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.
