Fantastic mountain man's farm under the wings of the Örebro County Museum. Calm, exciting and lots of history!

A beautiful miner's estate with a lot of history and information about how people lived. Well worth a visit!

Lena Morléh (4 years ago)
Like taking a step into the past. Beautifully decorated with well-preserved furniture and treasure hunts and period toys for the little ones. After the tour, you can sit in the beautiful garden and have a coffee or ice cream from the small cafe.

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.
