Nice rooms and a beautiful milieu. It is worth visiting the art exhibitions in two different buildings. A great place for art exhibitions!

Nice manor milieu, good cafe and it's definitely worth taking a guided tour of the manor itself (tours twice a day). Artists' sales exhibitions in courtyard buildings

Historical mansion in Turku region and a place where the tv-series Hovimäki was filmed.

For those who have seen Hovimäki many times, it was great to take a guided tour of the main building, a wonderful and rare preservation of Finnish history. Several buildings around and yard areas, a garden which at its best had 5000 apple trees as well as other species. There is also a nice beach nearby

What can you tell me about it, I've lived there since my youth and the corners are familiar

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.
