Nice lock, well preserved but locked. A great dynasty was born here.

Just a historically significant place. Not super special so going for a an hour or so is okay.

Nice place to visit. A few kilometers from Lorch. For the price of 4 euros you can visit the small museum inside containing medieval weapons and armor, a dining room and a bedroom with a picturesque bathroom. There is also a small souvenir shop.

Mały zamek średniowieczny z XIII wieku niestety raczej zamknięty.

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.
