Not much to see but worth a short stop if you are in the area. It is not well kept and there are private homes within the interior.

Just the closed door now to see.

This is one of the few remaining historical relics from the Ottoman Empire that wasn’t totally destroyed by the communists or whitewashed by the nationalists. Get there soon as it is willfully being neglected by the neo-crusader community

Nice, but very poorly kept
Sean Fox (3 years ago)
Not worth a trip up a very narrow treacherous road.

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.
