It's a church true to the Norwegian form, finished 1150 with last major overhaul 1888 same as the weather vane say. It seat 550 and on Christmas Eve all is needed. The magical feeling when you enter the full church can not be described. "But be aware one a evening with full church it suppose to slide out in the river and kill all" (old saying) Well maintained cemetery frame the church, with old large trees and it's a peaceful place to reflect and ponder over life's small secrets. All honor to the caretaker, and pleas don't paint the church, flicking yes, full overhaul no.

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.
