Ludgo Church

Nyköping, Sweden

The nave of the Ludgo Church dates from the late 1200s. The chancel was enlarged and two chapels (for Drakenhielm and Sifverstjerna families) were added in 1673-1678. There are two sandstone sculptures probably from the 1400s. Two runestones from the 1000s are located to the church entrance.

One of the most beautiful churches in Sörmland. Beautifully located in aspa / ludgo. Fantastic acoustics in the vaulted ceilings. Well worth a visit on the way past.

A beautiful place with the fine church, all created by humans during times

Extremely nice church in a perfect location. Had the honor of visiting this church during Easter, so have not been to a service here. The cemetery was also just as nice with the water next door. There was good information about the church with which you can read. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area :)

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.
