Why not. The church is a place of silence. That's what this church is functional and devout in its atmosphere...

An old, but valuable church without useless decorations.

A wooden church in a beautiful location. One really big minus, there is no toilet in the church. If coming from further away, e.g. Confirmation for an event or a funeral. It would be nice to be able to go to the bathroom in the church without having to go to the other side of the road to the bathroom ?.

A large wooden church. was completed in 1817. The church is one of the largest wooden churches in Finland and is designed as a double cross church, with two crosses in the floor plan. Very spacious inside. The parking lots are a little far away and there is still not a lot of parking space.

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.
