Unfortunately closed.

The path to Laurenburg Castle from Laurenburg goes through the forest and is wildly romantic. Unfortunately, it was raining and there was a risk of slipping because the high grass was very wet. Still very nice and relaxing. It's worth a visit. Laurenburg Castle itself cannot be visited at the moment.

This castle is just a tower, which is also closed. There are actually no parking spaces available, although parking one or two cars in front of the "castle" is possible. Overall, a targeted journey here is not worthwhile.

Nicely restored castle with a great view over the Lahn. No activities at the moment due to Corona.

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.
