Vist Church

Ulricehamn, Sweden

Vists Church was probably built in the 1200s according the dating in baptismal font. It was restored and the tower added in 1891-93. The crucifix dates from the 1600s and bells from the 1700s (the smaller one from 1704 is probably a war trophy from Poland). The altar was made in 1939 by Gunnar Torhamn.

A very nice cemetery arrangement, professionally managed and really feels like a nice place, even though it is a cemetery.

Came to this hidden gem as the sun had just set. A quiet place sheltered from the westerly wind by the dramatic hillsides to the west of the church. An unusual church architecture, but extremely beautiful and beautifully located!

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.
