Impressive building from the outside. Unfortunately not accessible inside. Neat cemetery is open.

Hejls Cemetery is always a pleasure to come by, as Tom is digging the cemetery so well. Tom is welcoming and a great help when we come up with headstones to be set up Greet your skilled stone carver Kolding Stoneware

My hometown church, where I am both baptized and confirmed. My parents and a large part of the family are buried there, as well as many others from my hometown. I really like that place.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
