It's a church true to the Norwegian form, finished 1150 with last major overhaul 1888 same as the weather vane say. It seat 550 and on Christmas Eve all is needed. The magical feeling when you enter the full church can not be described. "But be aware one a evening with full church it suppose to slide out in the river and kill all" (old saying) Well maintained cemetery frame the church, with old large trees and it's a peaceful place to reflect and ponder over life's small secrets. All honor to the caretaker, and pleas don't paint the church, flicking yes, full overhaul no.

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.
