The current Nynäs manor house was built in the 17th century by the Gyllenstierna family and modernized inside and out in 1835. It was a private residence until 1984, when the County of Sörmland and Nationalmuseum acquired the house and all its contents. Today’s visitors enter a living milieu on which different generations have left their mark. The public rooms are decorated with magnificent stucco ceilings from the late 17th century. The house also contains rich collections of portraits and furniture. The cupboards are full of textiles and glass sets. The old kitchen, which escaped 20th-century modernization, displays all its pots, pans and trays. In the orangery next to the manor house, you will find a café and a garden shop.
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.
