One of Skåne's most beautiful churches/cemeteries

Anders Pihl (2 years ago)
Clearly a cozy cemetery, nicely maintained on the hilly slope. The exercise track, the trail, the reserve all around is magical (visit in July) lots of green and many branches overhead along the running water. Definitely worth a visit

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.
