Great church. It would have been nice to have a working teleloop

File and intimate church. Good sound.

Architecturally, Rygge Kirke is beautiful. I don't get involved in the spiritual content.

Well kept, historic church. Recommended for any pilgrim who happens to walk around in Østfold. Some fascinating sights and details, and a good atmosphere that permeates the whole area.

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.
