Husby-Ärlinghundra Church

Märsta, Sweden

The stone church of Husby-Ärlinghundra was built in the mid-12th century. The porch and sacristy were added later. The bell tower was erected in 1717 and restored in 1819 to the present appearance.

The sculpture of St. Michael, crucifix and mural paintings date from the Middle Ages. The Baroque-style pulpit was made in 1721.

A nice church from the 12th century and it is open if you want to visit. The downside is that no bus goes there so it's a long way to go

Imagine being there when the potatoes are picked up from the ground! It can't get fresher than that when you don't have your own potato country. Today I also bought carrots and beets. Even those unearthed before my eyes. I wish more people discover this way of buying vegetables and root vegetables during the harvest season.

Fin kyrka. Separat klocktorn som man kan kolla in. Vi bjöds på kaffe och tårta där i påskas.

A beautiful old cemetery with a stone wall around the church, ash grove with a nice pond with carp in and a newer part. Benches to sit on and good with parking.

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.
