Insanely exciting half-timbered church. Not every day you see it. If you like to "lure" history, then the cemetery with its many special names is worth a look. Take a walk in the city. You will not be run down - not even tired! Exciting Lolland location!

En smuk bindingsværkskirke, som der ikke findes mange af. Den er bygget omkring år 1200. Tårnet blev formentlig bygget i 1700-tallet. Skørringe kirke ligger meget idyllisk i den lille landsby Vester Skørringe omgivet af løvtræer og indrammet af et hvidt hegn

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.
