The wooden St. Brice's Church in Gościęcin was built in 1661 (renovated in 1880 and dedicated to St. Brice). Formerly, in its location stood a wooden chapel from 1594. The church was funded by Marta and Marcin Wolff, the latter the owner of the sołectwo in Gościęcin. The church was built on the peripheries of the village, on a nearby hill. There, in its peripheries stands a water well (St. Brice's Well), which is given healing properties. Additionally, there is a hermitage in the area (from before 1870), presently transformed into a mountain hut.
References: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.
