Grensholm history dates from the 1400s and the chapel was built in the late 1500s. The current main building was probably built in the late 1600s and restored with a new floor in the mid-1700s. Two wings were also added then. The castle is named after statesman Magnus Gren (died in 1490s). Today Grensholm is a conference and event center.
References: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.
