Beautiful! They are slowly painting the outside.

Beautiful religious building left in its original state, very tired and eaten away by humidity, it's Orthodox here!, with beautiful religious furniture, very busy, an incredible atmosphere, it's dark, we were able (perhaps exceptionally) visit it. It is urgent to restore it, it must be a marvel!!

An impressive temple in the center of Tartu. Very shabby. But serve regularly.

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.
