The church was rebuilt after the bombings. Modern stained glass (a gift to the community from Meelis Eldermann, technical director of VKG). The church building was renovated in autumn 2020.

It is a very old building from the midst of 14th century. It just renovated again and it is very beautiful now. Historically the church has been the main church of the Lüganuse parish.

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.
