Beautiful wooden churches. Very nice sexton, who also opened up the older church for us to visit.

A really old and beautiful church whose patinas exude the past centuries with spring parties, weddings and funerals.

An absolutely wonderful parish, two churches and a chapel and an even more beautiful cemetery on the banks of the beautiful Kemijoki.

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.
