Absolutely grand!! The chap who let me in was super informative, and gave me loads of history before actually turning on the mill and letting me see firsthand how it works. Absolutely wonderful, and highly recommended.

Visited this lovely little water mill today, Mike was very knowledgeable and explained the history very well including the origin of certain phrases. Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

Very informative talk from staff member. Started the mill up for us and went into great detail about the position of the mill, it's importance in the community and how it all worked. Very interesting and definitely worth s visit. And as a bonus we got some cooking apples and nadexa lovely eve's pudding that evening.

Lovely little mill. The place was so tranquil and peaceful. So quiet, We could hear the birds singing the whole time. Lots of little paths to have a wonder by the river. The mill itself had an interesting history and the volunteer (regrettably cannot recall his name), responsible for the tour, was very friendly and accommodating. Fairly priced coffee too which just happened to be delicious.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
