St. Andreas Church

Lancken-Granitz, Germany

St. Andreas brick Gothic church in Lancken Granitz dates back to the 15th century. Its oldest piece is a wooden cross affixed to a triumphal arch. The eight-sided pulpit with its star-shaped ceiling was built in 1598. The baptismal angel, created during the Baroque era, was recently restored.

A peaceful and quiet cemetery, the church is also worth a visit.

Roberto Kemter (2 years ago)
Unfortunately, the church is always closed outside of the season and there is no contact information on site in the showcase.

A beautiful church from the 15th century is located in Lancken-Granitz. Raised on a hill, the church is beautiful to look at. There are remains of old paintings on the walls and ceilings that have been uncovered. Must see!

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.
