Beautiful church in very green surroundings. Ship and choir have flat beamed ceiling, but the choir has previously had vault. The altarpiece is a Renaissance work from the beginning of the 1600s, with the Lord as the main motif and Isaac's sacrifice and the copper snake in the side wings. From a former altarpiece comes a figure of Saint Chrysogonus, who wears a cloak over the armor. The pulpit is from 1882 in a Renaissance / Baroque blending style. The baptismal font is a simple granite font. The organ is from 1882 and renovated by Marcussen & Søn in Aabenraa, most recently in December 2009-January 2010.

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.
