Радует что историческое место не позабыто Науенской волости спасибо за сохранение истории! Единственный минус это автостоянка, она прямо на месте снесённого католического кладбища не думаю что все останки перезахоронены автомобиль ставить знающим об этом не хочется.

Tikriausiai kažko įdomesnio.. Bet nieko- graži gamta, takas per upelio slėnį. Prasivedinti puiki vieta.

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.
