Nice park, nice watermill, nice playground, castle is quite beautiful from the outside. Deer don't look very well cared for, but just entertained for 2 hours on a beautiful sunny day with 2 young children.

Nice and great walking park not to visit the castle, castle itself. In the garden works of art, animal meadow and a beautiful playground. Opposite the castle, on the other side of the garden, the watermill of Baarlo, also worth a visit.

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.
