Château de Chéronne

Tuffé-Val-de-la-Chéronne, France

Château de Chéronne was originally built in the 14th century, but nothing remains of original wooden building. The gatehouse, built around 1490, is the oldest part today. The Renaissance style chateau dates mainly from the 16th century and is surrounded by a moat (later filled).

Today Château de Chéronne is used for weddings and other events.

My son got married at Chateau de Chéronne last July and it was 2 unforgettable days! The property is magnificent, very well maintained, lots of comfortable accommodation in the castle as well as in pretty outbuildings allowing families and close friends to stay. The reception tent is also very beautiful. But above all, above all, the owners are charming and Ludovic who was our contact was from the beginning to the end of the process, available, efficient, understanding and really very, very friendly! I recommend with eyes closed or rather wide open as the place is beautiful and the organization of the wedding simplified by the support of Ludovic!

A magical place for a wedding and as part of a yoga retreat the place is surprising in its serenity, simple beauty, with large green spaces, buildings that speak "stories", this place has a truly beautiful soul. Lose yourself in the vegetable garden... a little English air reigns there. A real change of scenery 2 hours from Paris.

We rented one house in the farm right next to the castle. It was super clean and super comfortable. Lots of glasses, kitchen utensils, and that you need.

Bengtskär Lighthouse

Towering 52 meters above the sea, Bengtskär lighthouse is the tallest one in Scandinavia. The building started in in 1905 after the shipwreck of S/S Helsingfors and was completed in 1906. The lighthouse was designed by architect Florentin Granholm. On December a special petrol lantern, designed and built in Paris, was brought to Bengtskär and installed atop the tower.

German fleet bombarded Bengstkär in the First World War in 1914. Since the Gulf of Finland was heavily mined, it was not until 1919 that the surrounding seas were declared safe for shipping, that the light was lit again.

After the war the military value of Bengtskär increased as part of the defence system of independent Finland. In Second World War (1941) Soviet Union made a suprise attack to island. After a bloody battle, the small Finnish garrison emerged victorious. Intermittent repairs to the facility continued during the post-war period.
