A beautiful castle with exquisite architecture, reminding us of the rise and grandeur of the past. At this stage, urgent restoration and repair of the exterior and interior of the castle is needed.

Lovely little village with strong national history. The town are working hard to restore key buildings, including the castle to celebrate and share their heritage even more.

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.
