Inkoo Church

Inkoo, Finland

The oldest parts of grey stone church date back to the 15th century. It was built in three periods: the first part probably in 1430s, second maybe in the later half of 15th century and latest in 1510s. The roof was destroyed by lightning in 1623 and the bell tower was built beside 1739-1740.

The Inkoo parish is very old (established in the beginning of 13th century) and it's quite probable there have been wooden churches before the present one.

Näkemisenarvoinen paikka, kaunis hautausmaa ympärillä.

Beautiful 15th century church. I wasn't able to see the inside, as it was closed, hopefully next time.

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.
