Clean.

Perttel Church is a small stone church with a bell tower and a cemetery. The church and cemetery are surrounded by a stone wall. The church hall has bright, beautiful ceiling lighting with chandeliers, some donated. The organ loft has an organ and space for a church choir. The benches are traditional wooden benches. The crowd can accommodate about 350 people to sit on the benches. The altar is also in the middle of a light stone wall. An altarpiece depicting the history of a large religion in the background. The atmosphere in the empty church is a hobby as soon as you enter. Church employees do their work through joy with devotion. Parishioners of all ages visit the church, services, and concerts. People also come from outside the congregation. Everyone is welcome.

There are not many evaluations of church spending in this column. The Ukrainian-themed fair was nicely combined with the world of choice in fresh art and the atmosphere was passionate. Not forgetting the message

A small and sweet stone church.

A fine stone church at least from the outside. The church is located in the middle of a classic Finnish rural landscape.

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.
