Masthugget Church

Gothenburg, Sweden

Masthugget Church was built in 1914. Its position on a high hill (Masthugget) close to the city and near the Göta älv (Göta river) makes it a striking sight – the church tower is 60 meters high in itself. The church represents the national romantic style in Nordic architecture and was drawn by Sigfrid Ericson. The church, which has become one of the symbols of Gothenburg, is a popular tourist attraction.

Such a shame that cloudy horizons awaited us here. Nice viewpoint from where I'd like to catch the crazy city views on a sunny day. I'm not done with Gothenburg yet. It's a lovely city. ?

I was here on a wedding and it was very lgbtq+ friendly. The priest was good and the setting was nice. The church has it’s own parking but when i got there all spots were taken, but there wasn’t a problem to find a spot nearby.

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.
