My new town Rue, at the top of the hill with its magnificent castle. Rue is the smallest town in Europe and offers stunning views of the Alps and Pre-Alps. Absolutely worth visiting!

A charming medieval town in the countryside, the town hall restaurant is a must and you absolutely must stop.

Very nice point of view, but the castle cannot be visited, it is private property

Since it is impossible to access from the outside, it is a pity

Danmark Church

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
