Wartensee Castle

Rorschacherberg, Switzerland

The western tower of Wartensee castle was built in 1243 by Ritter Heinrich von Wartensee as a residential tower. By the marriage the tower went in 1377 to the brothers Walter and Diethelm Blarer from St. Gallen. The family Blarer owned Wartensee until 1719. The current appearance dates from the alterations made in 1843-1553 by English composer Robert Lucas Pearsall de Willsbridge. Today Wartensee is a hotel.

Scenic castle on a hill. Best time to visit during summer. There are even hotel rooms for you to stay.

Very nice quiet romantic place. A perfect weekend getaway for couples. We got served a vegan dinner (i am a vegan) and this is the best food i ever ate in a non vegan place. Usually if people are not into a vegan philosophy then they dont know how to prerpare veggies (they make them very boring most of times). This place was complete oposite. We got appetizers; soup; main dish and a desert. All of it topping expectations. Amazing tastes. Staff was nice and polite. Hotel is really beautiful placed on top of the hill. Easily approachable with the car and a slow train if one is lazy to walk. All in all i would strongly reccomend!

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.
