Utanför kyrkan finns en tavla om platsens historia. Vilket många andra kyrkor saknar. Heder åt detta. En kyrka har legat på samma plats sedan mitten av 1100-talet. Dagens kyrka liknar mest en så kallad Tengnérlada och ger ingen extra upplevelse även om den delar grund med en mycket gammal kyrka. Platsen är vacker som ligger på en höjd över Foss socken.

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.
