Perttel Church is a small stone church with a bell tower and a cemetery. The church and cemetery are surrounded by a stone wall. The church hall has bright, beautiful ceiling lighting with chandeliers, some donated. The organ loft has an organ and space for a church choir. The benches are traditional wooden benches. The crowd can accommodate about 350 people to sit on the benches. The altar is also in the middle of a light stone wall. An altarpiece depicting the history of a large religion in the background. The atmosphere in the empty church is a hobby as soon as you enter. Church employees do their work through joy with devotion. Parishioners of all ages visit the church, services, and concerts. People also come from outside the congregation. Everyone is welcome.

There are not many evaluations of church spending in this column. The Ukrainian-themed fair was nicely combined with the world of choice in fresh art and the atmosphere was passionate. Not forgetting the message

Château de Chantilly

The Château de Chantilly comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé. It is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.

The estate"s connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (now replaced by the Grand Château) was built in 1528–1531 for the Constable Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II, it passed to the Grand Condé who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.

Several interesting pieces of history are associated with the château during the 17th century.
