Moermond Castle

Renesse, Netherlands

I would love to learn more of this castle. I have been told that this was built by my ancestors, and I am very curious. My family tree is getting smaller and I would like to leave some information for them to look upon. How would I go about learning more? I live in Ohio, United States of America. Thank you.

Nice old castle. Stayed in a labor camp for 3 weeks for work on the Oosterschelde dam.

Very nice lock. We have not been inside. The tower of the castle is quite skewed. What is especially nice is the Kabouterbos. Made very nice with all kinds of different performances and funny places, where you really see something happening. A wedding, holiday with a caravan, theater, etc. Also a nice geocache location.

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.
