Schadau Palace

Thun, Switzerland

Schadau Palace is situated in the Schaudaupark, and was built between 1846 and 1854 according to the plans of Pierre-Charles Dusillon in the Gothic Revival style, for the banker Abraham Denis Alfred de Rougemont

Since 1925 the castle has belonged to the city of Thun and contains a restaurant and the Swiss Gastronomy Museum. Between 1972 and 1992 the façade of the castle was renovated by the city's own quarrymen.

The oldest known surviving panorama was completed in 1814 by Marquard Wocher, and is on display at the Schadau Castle, depicting an average morning in the Swiss town of Thun. As of today it's owned by the Gottfried Keller Foundation.

Stayed there for one night at duluxe room with lake view. the room position was brilliant, highest floor at castle corner — which enables the room to have two balconies, facing the lake/mountain and side views separately. Room/Bathroom was super spacious, comfortable bed. A 24h lounge with espresso/tea bag. Another delightful surprise is that guest can use the next door 4-star hotel (congress hotel)’s spa & sauna for free — and there sauna was the best since my Finland experience these many years A few minor issues to be improved: 1. my room run out of tissue/room fragrance 2. lounge’s espresso machine was out of order in pm till next morning back to normal function 3. breakfast wasn’t buffet, and supply/options were a bit limited In summary, a place let u to soak in the essence of the Thun lake

A special place. Our room had stunning views of the lake. Everything you’d expect from a castle hotel. Staff was kind and attentive. Breakfast was high end. Luxurious bathrooms. And dinner was a delight. Get the tasting menu.

Amazing view in every session. Great for walks or just enjoying the time one the Hugh park. In the summer you can't miss a swim or a boat ride. There is also a playground for kids

The scholoss is so pretty, but I'd recommend coming in day time rather than night time to enjoy the view of the garden also. The food was fantastic and the interior is superb. Really worth the visit!

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.
