Strange, they had a free access exhibition by artists in the region (which was good) but then forbid taking pictures or selfies. Not exactly the best way to get exposure and engagement by the community. So I figure a load of high brows.

Something wonderful that I haven't seen before. A castle in water as the name suggested. My recommendation is to visit the place either in Spring or in Summer to admire the beauty of nature.

The castle is idyllically situated in the middle of a small park and surrounded by a moat. It was built in the 17th century and is now owned by the municipality. After serving as the town hall for a few decades, it is now mainly used for cultural purposes. Especially in autumn it is beautifully embedded between the colorful leaves of the surrounding trees.

Schöner Ort, nur von außen zu besichtigen.

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.
