It is located in a nice, quiet place, on a small hilltop, unfortunately it was closed, we couldn't go inside.

Advance telephone consultation is required, but the locals are very kind

We visited this gem while searching for our memories of the Árpád era. We were lost in front of the gate, when a nice gentleman came and let us into the church. The church is also beautiful from the inside, the original frescoes have been wonderfully preserved. Anyone interested in our past should definitely visit here.

Such an interesting little church! You can see the layers of its centuries of history preserved on the wall frescoes. A must see if you are in the area, even if medieval churches are not your interest. It has that sort of character that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something off the beaten path.

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.
