The architecture and presence of this church lies on

A well-maintained medieval church built around 1180, apart from regular maintenance is the church as it was in the 1600s, when a roof rider was built. The church and cemetery are idyllically situated with views over Bø and the surrounding area. Take a trip up to the churches in Bø, the trip is 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.
