Beautiful church located in the countryside, but easily accessible. Beautiful surroundings.

Nice church and place. Good thing it's open in summer, so you can see inside it.

Nice church where you can spend time either discovering the building or why not take a walk in the cemetery. The church dates from 1181 and is usually open on Östgöta days but is also open in summer.

Nice old church which is an "open church" that you can go in and look at.

It is not neat and tidy in the cemetery, the bulletin board is dirty and notes are hanging and fluttering on some "provisional" poles. A proper makeover is needed here so you feel an inner peace when you visit your loved ones who are buried here ?

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.
