The renaissance castle Walpersdorf was built in 1571 by Hans Ulrich von Ludmanstorf, which was then expanded by Helmhard VIII Freiherr von Jörger and completed by his son Helmhard the Younger in 1619. During the Thirty Years' War the castle went to Empress Eleonora Gonzaga. After her death, Georg Ludwig von Sinzendorf bought the castle, who built a silk mill there. Marie Countess Falkenhayn finally bequeathed Walpersdorf Castle to the Order of the Missionary Sisters of St. Petrus Claver. The castle was badly damaged in World War II and repaired after the war. Until 2014 it was owned by the Missionary Order. The castle has housed the Lederleitner interior store since 2014. Admission is free, a tour through the beautifully designed exhibition rooms is a must for all friends of upscale home decor! The castle chapel is very popular for dream weddings, the "Castle Kitchen Walpersdorf Blauenstein" located in the castle, an insider tip for gourmets!

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.
