Nice to see the property from the inside, as I have driven past it thousands of times. The new cycle path is simply beautiful and the only one in Denmark.

An incredible experience in religious, artistic, historical and not least musical environment with beautiful hymns and choral singing at the old castle's Christmas fair 2022.

The estate and its surroundings are truly some of the most beautiful in Denmark. Drive quietly around the small, narrow roads. It's a postcard view all the way.

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.
