Even Google told me, it isn't open, it was. I was a little surprised, that the castle wasn't full of furniture in every room. I guess it depends on, that there are no original furniture left. Anyway they made a nice exhibition. Only the second floor is museum. On the first floor is a café (which will open 14th June = 2022) and on the third floor is a kind of school, where everyone for free can try different technics of handkrafts and the like. This was not running as well.

Not as beautiful scenery as the other castles around Södermanland but worth a trip.

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.
