Korsnäs Church

Korsnäs, Finland

The wooden church of Korsnäs was designed by famous architect Carl Ludvig Engel and it was built in 1831. The belfry dates already from the previous church, and it is built in 1747 (the current appearance dates from the restoration made around 1860s). The adjacent parsonage, also built in 1831, is today a parish museum.

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.
