Angerdshestra Church

Månsarp, Sweden

In 1910 during the restoration of Angerdshestra church 30 old pergaments were found revealing that the old church was inaugurated in the 13th century. Today documents are located in Stockholm Historical Museum. The current church was made of wood in 1669 to the site of medieval church. It was enlarged and restored in the 18th century. The oldest artefact is a wooden sculpture of St. Anne, dating from the 15th century. The altar was probably painted by Johan Kinnerus between 1716-1717.

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.
