Ejby Church is an ancient medieval church, consisting of a Romanesque ship (from about 1150 - 1200) with Gothic east extension, to which, in the late Gothic era (around the year 1500), three extensions were added, namely tower, sacristy and porch. The baptismal font dates from around 1300. It is made of Gothic limestone and is equipped with engraved apostle and saint figures. The altarpiece was painted in 1596 and is of the canopy type with catechism boards. The pulpit, in cartilage baroque, dates from 1625.

Beautiful whitewashed village church, which is a feast for the eyes. The church was built around the year 1150 with a Gothic extension to the east. In late Gothic times (around 1500) 3 extensions were made: tower, sacristy and porch. The church passed into private ownership in 1911

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.
