Wonderful Castle. With respect to the current owner and privacy it would be wonderful idea having small portion of the magnificent building dedicated to tourists. We do exhibit Imperial Sterling Silver, Bavarian, Hungarian fine China and art work including jewelry @ B+B at Sunbury Cove Winery CA

The castle is a private ground not accessible for tourists today. It has an interesting history and hopefully bright future as it looks nice from outside and has a good location near Thaya river. Unfortunately, there is not much around that may attract attention of bypassers.

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.
