Hannas Church

Simrishamn, Sweden

Hannas Church was likely built during the latter part of the 12th century and possesses a well-preserved medieval character. The original church was a typical Romanesque structure with a semi-circular apse, choir, and nave. In the 15th century, the church was vaulted, and a robust stair-gable tower in the west, along with a porch in the north, were added.

The benches feature old folk paintings and are marked with farm numbers. The church's oldest item is the richly sculpted baptismal font by Sighraf. The font is as old as the church itself, adorned with biblical figures on the base and scenes from the Bible on the basin.

The altarpiece dates back to 1651. Additionally, there is a triumph crucifix from around the year 1300 in the church.

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.
