Oppstuhage

Arvika, Sweden

Haget, Christian Eriksson’s childhood home in Taserud, is scenically located within walking distance of downtown Arvika. The building was built in 1894 as the home and studio of Eriksson. It has been renovated and extended to include two exhibit wings that teem with works of art.

The house now serves as the museum’s entrance and café. Architect Rune Falk designed the museum. King Carl-Gustaf XVI officiated at the opening ceremonies on June 18, 1993.

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.
