I recently visited Kloster Lorch Castle and I’m thrilled to give it a 5-star rating! This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful castles in the Baden-Württemberg region. The view from the castle is absolutely stunning, offering a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding area. The castle is impeccably maintained, with beautifully landscaped gardens and well-preserved historical features. Every corner of Kloster Lorch is steeped in history and charm, making it a delightful place to explore. If you’re in Baden-Württemberg, Kloster Lorch Castle is a must-visit. The combination of its historical significance, stunning views, and immaculate upkeep makes it a truly exceptional destination.

Nice location, bird show was good, but location would need some renovation. Coffee shop in the Kloster should provide more options of food - we came at 4pm and cake was already empty, coffee machine did not properly work

On my opinion price is little bit higher. Really I didn't understand for what I pay 6 euro. Area near monastery is more interesting than monastery.

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.
