A small but very nice museum. Here you can find objects from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.

A nice and sympathetic museum. A bit small, but considering that it's free entry and that it's a small city like Enköping, it's perfectly fine. Fairly large actually. It's nice to go to the museum and you really get a clear picture of what Enköping looked like in the 1800s and early 1900s. Some things were completely new to me like this thing about government workers that I had never heard of before and it was cool to see how cramped and small people in the 19th century lived. It takes between 25-40 minutes to see the museum. The museum is centrally located, in the center of Enköping in a beautiful classical two-storey building. It is free to enter. Downstairs there is a tourist information office. And a small museum shop with a very limited range of souvenirs. The museum is open until 4 pm Tuesday to Friday.

Free entry, clear advantage, wouldn't have paid for the museum if it cost money. Although there is an elevator in the 3-story museum, I do not recommend wheelchair users to come

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.
