Very beautiful church

Impotent cathedral surrounded by a quiet delightful town. Inside there is an organ that envelops you with its incredible sound.

Impressive cathedral for such a small town! With the bikes on tour, the large cathedral dominates the landscape from afar! Small coffees and restaurants around the cathedral, also very nice in the area! The cathedral is very beautiful from the inside, especially the windows, which were most likely not destroyed by the war, so true to detail and beautiful, especially in the sunlight, were lucky impressive! Taking a break outside in the shade kestrels also inhabit the top of the tower and circled around! Greetings from Moers

As is so often the case: as impressive as it is from the outside, it is so simple on the inside. The cherry windows are beautiful.

The Propsteikirche St. Ludgerus, also called Ludgerus-Dom, is a Catholic pilgrimage church in the town of Billerbeck in the Diocese of Münster and one of the two churches of the provost St. Johannes and St. Ludgerus parish and community. It is a neo-gothic floor plan with a transept. It's a wonderful cathedral.?

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.
