Rumlaborg Castle Ruins

Huskvarna, Sweden

Rumlaborg castle was built around 1360 - the first written record dates from 1366. In 1434 it was burned down during the so-called Engelbrekt rebellion and rebuilt again in 1448 by Karl Knutsson Bonde. In the 17th century the castle lost its defensive purpose and in 1850s the site was moved as a park with pavillion.

It's always as nice to get there

Nice to walk around, a little shame that the Lusthuset looks very much included. But good with the benches around, where you can sit o look o philosophize ......

Historic medieval site that neither municipality nor any other state actor devoted any commitment to. Not even an information board.

Huskvarna's landmark .... ;-)

Historic site well worth a visit. The castle built in the 14th century for strategic function. More fact signs should, however, be set up in the park and hiking area. Among other things, the understanding had increased if its former appearance was illustrated on overview signs.

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.
