Krumbach Castle

Krumbach, Austria

Krumbach Castle was constructed as a fortress in the 11th century. In 1192 Gerhardus de Chrumpach was mentioned in documents for the first time. The fortress was destroyed by the Magyars in 1260. It was later owned for over 200 years by the family of Pálffy von Erdöd.

Sold to an Austrian lawyer 1875, the castle changed private owners several times. It was converted into a hotel in 1993 and owned by the Austrian investor Mirko Kovats and his Artis Hotel Group as of 2009. Since 2020, it has operated as Schloss Krumbach International School, a private school with boarding.

Great castle, visible from afar, but privately owned and therefore only visible from the outside. There is also an international school in the castle.

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.
