The castle is privately owned and may not be entered

The ruin is no longer accessible. You are also regularly informed that you are on private property, that access is prohibited and that there is a danger to life. Unfortunately, very little can be seen of the ruins. It's a pity, considering that a lot of history was written here.

If you can get a glimpse of it, it's actually quite beautiful. But since the owner leaves everything overgrown and doesn't want you to go near the ruins, it's not worth the trip.

If you fight your way through it's a cool adventure up to the castle. However, nothing is guaranteed and you should do so at your own risk. But you have a quiet spot with history :)

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.
