Nice church with beautiful church windows. Right now an exhibition of magical nature photos.

Adina Magnusson (3 years ago)
Small beautiful church that is open often. You can hear hymns every full hour and a half when the church is open.

Cozy to look around the countryside

Nice little rural church. Nice with information signs and fun that it was kept open for visitors. It felt strange to see a baptismal font with such a great age that there were runes on it

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.
