Wow so beautiful !! Kinneved Church offers many attractions. The interior is colorful, and the pulpit's sound ceiling has strong colors that give the church a special character. The church's cows with their softly rounded shapes have paintings on the ceiling, among other things. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to see this very beautiful little church which from the outside looks quite large, but once inside the church one is surprised that it is so small, but very, very beautiful!

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.
