Very very beautiful little church with good sound. But at funerals, there is probably not much room for those who have to lift the coffin. Perhaps a "dog" specially made for chests would solve the problem.

Beautiful church. It's a small one, but I've loved it my entire life. There's just something about it

Jyllinge Kirke ligger ud til Roskilde Fjord 12 km nord for Roskilde. Den romanske kirke er bevaret i sin oprindelige udstrækning med apsis, kor og skib bygget af rå og delvis kløvede kampesten og med hjørner af granitkvadre. Der er tre gotiske tilbygninger, tårn, våbenhus og kapel. Prædikestolen fra 1618 er fra Brix Snedker i Roskilde. Døbefonten af granit er middelalderlig. Jyllinge Kirke hørte i middelalderen under Æbelholt Kloster, som var efterfølgeren efter det kloster, der indtil 1175 lå på Eskildsø. Den munk eller præst der var bestyrer på klosterets ladegård på Eskildsø forretede gudstjenesten. Efter reformationen kom Kirken i kongens eje og den lå under Roskildegård. I 1687 solgtes den. Jyllinge Kirke med annekskirken Gundsømagle kom i 1763 til Hegnstrupgård. Her blev de til de overgik til selveje i 1920.

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.
