The church was under restoration, so unfortunately we were not inside. But lies beautifully

A nice church in a small village.

Jan Sognnes Rasmussen (2 years ago)
A beautiful medieval church, whose oldest parts, choir and nave, were built in the 12th century. The tower and sacristy are built later. The church is located to the west on an elevation in the terrain of the city. The country has in recent years become known for a 2 hectare field with lupins that is worth a visit just like the church is.

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.
