Visit of the castle by its owner who welcomed us very well. He loves his place and tells a thousand anecdotes of his family. Presence of a multitude of objects having belonged to his ancestors. Note that a wing is rented and restored by Chanel for its presentations.

Very beautiful residence, isolated in the middle of the fields !! but which has charm, and the history of the residence is interesting.... Good visit to you now!

Private 17th century chateau. Particular in the sense that this one is designed a bit like a Chartreuse with a central garden. The building is made up of several wings. A part is restored and rented by Chanel for its presentations. Very stylish. The old part of the castle is a set of rooms with a heap of family objects which sometimes clutter the rooms which loses its charm. Some lights are reviewed. But the visit remains very pleasant. Too bad the beautiful garden in front is not accessible every day!! It is independent of the castle.

Château avec une disposition italienne autour d'une cour et d'une promenade protégée. Des pièces dans leur jus. Visite intéressante un peu longuette. Mais très beau site à visiter pour encourager les propriétaires à préserver le patrimoine.

Very nice discovery. Since the place has always been in the same family, the furniture is very well furnished. The guide, who is also the owner, will make your visit wonderfully. Good visit

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.
