DateTime lopp = DateTime.Parse("2025-01-25T22:00:00+02:00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToUniversalTime();

await ctx.Database.SqlQuery<DateTime>($@"
select lower(tstzrange '[{algus},{lopp})') as ""Value""
").ToArrayAsync();

How to pass tstzrange to Postgres ?

Code is in ASP.NET 9 MVC controller

Application uses Postgres 12 and later server and latest Npgsql Entity Framework Core Provider

As PostgreSQL doc, tstzrange is a built-in range type https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rangetypes.html#RANGETYPES-BUILTIN

For Npgsql, range type is mapped to NpgsqlRange<TElement> since no common C# class can hold its value. https://www.npgsql.org/doc/types/basic.html

The following is an example to parse and select tstzrange:

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using NpgsqlTypes;

var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<ApplicationDbContext>()
    .UseNpgsql("Host=localhost:5433;Database=postgres;Username=postgres;Password=postgres")
    //.EnableSensitiveDataLogging()
    //.LogTo(Console.WriteLine, LogLevel.Trace)
    .Options;

var ctx = new ApplicationDbContext(options);

DateTime algus = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2024-11-25T00:00:00+02:00").UtcDateTime;
DateTime lopp = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2025-01-25T22:00:00+02:00").UtcDateTime;

var range = new NpgsqlRange<DateTime>(algus, lopp);

var r1 = await ctx.Database.SqlQuery<NpgsqlRange<DateTime>>($"select {range} as \"Value\"").FirstAsync();
var list = await ctx.Database.SqlQuery<NpgsqlRange<DateTime>>($"select {range}").ToListAsync();

Console.WriteLine(r1.LowerBound);
Console.WriteLine(r1.UpperBound);

var r2 = list[0];

Console.WriteLine(r2.LowerBound);
Console.WriteLine(r2.UpperBound);


public class ApplicationDbContext : DbContext
{
    public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    }
}
