A fine and valuable old stone church from the late 15th century. The church is consecrated to St. Peter. The church is a beautiful and good place to calm down. Around the cemetery. An object worth seeing.

Beautiful on the outside, I hope to go in someday. The cemetery grounds were really beautifully maintained, all sorts of flowers, it was so peaceful and beautiful.

En av de finaste kyrkorna. Stämningen brukar vara så fin där och deras jul uppförande för barn är fantastiskt!

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.
