It's hard to be objective when you have a passion for medieval history. All the Polish castles of the Eagle's Nest group are beautiful and atmospheric, the Mirów Castle in its well-preserved original form is one of them.

Nice place, but the time ruins the building and people do nothing to save it...

The castle looks very nice and is located in a nice area. I wish it was a little less neglected, but still a cool place to visit. Unfortunately, since the castle was converted into a school, it can only be viewed from the outside.

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.
