Köping Church

Köping, Sweden

Köping Church dates from the 1440s, but it got the current appearance in the late 1600s. The reconstruction was made according the design of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger and inaugurated in 1706. The altarpiece is made in Germany around 1520. The font is made of sandstone in Svealand about the same time.

Nice church hall with good acoustics. Small but very nice congregation where everyone is seen!

Be at a concert here. The first time I have been and listened to classical music. Everything was fine except for the first and final pieces, when it sounded like they were out to beat the instruments. Apparently someone tried to put music on the corona virus. It went well, I think. It would have been better if the instruments were broken, damn how good it would have been

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.
