I got married here and my parents too. In the cemetery next to the church all my mother's relatives rest.

Silvåkra church was probably built in the early 12th century. The baptismal font is also from the Middle Ages. The church is located in the military training area Revingehed. Its location at an altitude in combination with the solid walls indicates that the church may have had a military function. The visitor is also recommended to look at the adjacent Silvåkraallen which is very nice

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.
