It is a small castle, near the most famous Castel Roncolo. It dates back to the twelfth century and originally its walls were bathed by the Talvera stream (now about twenty meters). In its long history, it has never been conquered. In the sixteenth he lived within its walls the last Voivod of Wallachia, Peter the Lame, grandson of Vlad the Impaler, the character who inspired the Dracula story. Today it is inhabited by private individuals and cannot be visited.

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.
