The photo by Franz-Josef Kemper shows Tübingen from the Neckar side and not the cathedral in Rottenburg. Please correct.

The small three-aisled basilica offers a beautiful sight on the market square of Rottenburg. Entering the interior, one is struck by the relative sobriety - quite at odds with the medieval/baroque exterior and most Catholic churches. A rather modest episcopal seat (in a positive sense)...

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.
