Trips Castle was built in the 15th century and has a nearly square shape with a courtyard. The building has a two-story brick structure with a high substructure and an impressive seven-story tower with a capped roof on the western side. The corner towers still have partly intact corbels. The castle was modified in the 18th century, mainly around the courtyard and inside the buildings.
There are two gatehouses dating from the second half of the 17th century that connect to the main house. The inner gatehouse has a main gate in the north wing with a projecting gable. The building beside the gate was converted into living quarters for the tenant. On the south side of the main castle is a geometrically arranged garden with two summer houses from the 18th century.
References: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.
