Lagów Castle

Łagów, Poland

Castle of the Order of St. John in Łagów is located on a peninsula between the Łagowski and Ciesz Lakes. The first mention of the castle was under the name of castro Lagowe in 1299. The castle was built by the Order of St. John, and in later years fortificated in a trapezium-like shape. In the eighteenth century the residence was reconstructed into the Baroque architectural style. In 1812, after the secularisation of the Order of St. John, the castle went into private hands. Currently, the castle houses a hotel.

We celebrated our wedding here, and it truly was the best day of my life. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere enchanting, and Wioletta, the manager, was incredibly kind and attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue, and we will always look back on our special day with gratitude. Thank you for making it unforgettable!

This place in Poland is one of my favorites as there is a lake side with lots of well equipped camp sites with access to the water toilets with showers. Village with absolutely amazing food served within lots of places. Every year they have festivals one of them is a bike one. Castle and surrounding ground are stunning and it's only 10zl (£2) per person to get in there's WiFi inside if you need your online banking as there is bad reception.

During my stay at Zamek Joannitów w Łagowie, I was left in awe of the sheer elegance and comfort the establishment had to offer. The rooms were nothing short of spectacular – spacious, tastefully decorated, and impeccably clean. Each detail seemed meticulously thought out, ensuring a cozy yet luxurious stay. Let's talk about the food. Oh, the food! The restaurant served culinary delights that were not only visually appealing but an absolute treat to the taste buds. The menu boasted a delightful array of dishes, each prepared with finesse and using the freshest ingredients. It was a gastronomic experience that I'll cherish for a long time. But what truly sets this place apart is the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Their hospitality was unparalleled. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and a willingness to assist with anything I needed. Their attention to detail and eagerness to ensure every guest had a memorable stay was commendable. The ambiance of the castle and its surroundings exuded charm and tranquility, offering a perfect retreat for relaxation and exploration. The picturesque views added an extra layer of magic to the entire experience. Zamek Joannitów w Łagowie is truly a gem that captures the essence of exceptional hospitality. My stay here was an absolute delight, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a blend of luxury, comfort, delectable dining, and heartfelt service.

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.
