A complete surprise, such a beautiful little church on our route while we were on church route. Overlooked but now seen anyway! Very beautiful, the history drips from the old walls and the location, pffff, go and experience it for yourself, too good to be true.

After a nice telephone contact we visited the church. To be able to assess whether we want to have our wedding there. We had a good feeling right away. It is a beautiful, small and intimate church. After a tour and a nice conversation we decided to get married in the church of Swichum. We also had a good feeling about Hannie. She is a sweet, involved, spontaneous and cheerful woman. We were allowed to choose how we wanted to design everything: decorate ourselves, choose chairs, choose a table, have a dress rehearsal, etc. As long as we let the caretaker, Hannie know. We had our wedding on June 21, 2021 in the church of Swichum. We look back on a beautiful day in a beautiful church.

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.
