Bodrogolaszi Church

Bodrogolaszi, Hungary

Bodrogolaszi Church with a round-arched apse was built on a hill in the 12th century. Its hole windows justify that besides the religious function, the church was also of strategic importance. The church was originally designated for the Walloons, immigrants occupied with vine-culture in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region. The church was reconstructed several times: in the end of the 18th century, in the second half of the 19th century and the end of the 1970s. The latter was the biggest reconstruction, when the building gained its finals shape.

Thank you for the guarantor entry to the balcony of the tower Samuel! ? To get the key, you can ask the wine shop on the street opposite the tower ... in front of the market.

Nice little Árpádian church next to Bodrog.

Nice, uniform 12th-century building - with remnants of architectural decoration in places - in the wedge part of the village on the banks of the Bodrog.

A place for camping by the river. Benches and a place for bonfires. Peace and quiet. Always an angler.

At the bank of the river bank, the parish church of the former Walloon settlement, the parish church raised in honor of St. Nicholas, stands out over the leader of the Bodrog Center, which has been used for centuries. The settlement was first mentioned in 1244, when IV, Béla installed Italian vineyards here, but it is mentioned in the church in 1201. The bell in the tower was poured in 1904. The caretaker of the church is very willing, its contact with the church can be found.

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.
