Went to the fort today. The fort is inhabited and is no longer accessible.

This is a beautiful old fort built in 1862 and steeped in history with its primary purpose being to defend the city of Nijmegen. It is in a peaceful location with scenic views of the river Waal and a there is lovely cycle route running along the riverbank. Some of the bridges crossing the river here are simply majestic.

It was closed and blocked. Just can't get in.

Nice historic point on the north side of the Waal. Staatsbosbeheer still needs a lot of work to make it accessible to the public.

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.
