Binderveld Castle was first time mentioned in 1135 when it was owned by Olderic van Bilrevelt , who received the loan in 1135. The castle was rebuilt in 1635-1653 by Hieronymus Van Copis. The castle was again destroyed in 1637, now by State troops. Moreover, in 1728 the castle burned out completely due to an accident. It was rebuilt again in 1729. Only the gate tower and the residence have been preserved. In 1865 the drawbridge was replaced with a fixed stone bridge. The chapel, which belonged to the castle, was replaced in 1842 by the current church.

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.
