Old and beautiful medieval church. It probably has the country's oldest clock.

The venerable church building dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paulus from the year 1166 is a great starting point for trips to Rømua and Glomma.

Beautiful old church dating back to the 1100's. Was fun to see how my family originated from this region.

Flott gammel kirke fra 1100 tallet. Presten fortalte mye interessant om kirken. Flott akustikk for orgel musikk.

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.
