Interesting chateau being renovated by an association. Temporary exhibitions and an escape game enrich the building.

Congratulations also to the former mayor of Luttange, M Hans Raymond, who for 1 symbolic franc bought this castle for the town and started the renovation work.

We entered curious ... and very good surprise, we had a very friendly welcome and the right to visit part of the castle in the company of volunteers, who are renovating the place with a lot of heart!

Amazing! Congratulations to the volunteers who have restored the castle over the years. Thank you for the very interesting guided tour.

Surprising, not to say extravagant, this romantic-looking castle in the heart of the village... The team that is working to restore it deserves all the praise, even if concrete often replaces stone. The exterior of the castle looks good, and the ornamental plants on the facades are a good idea. The interior is more questionable, and the showrooms are rather poorly lit. Well worth a detour...and to be reviewed as the renovations progress.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
