If you drive past it's okay, a short trip but a nice view from the ruins

Right along the road, easy to stop by. There are no signs, so you can drive almost to the castle (but a steep gravel path). Nice for a short stop, but not very special to drive an hour for.

A very short walk, like 5 minutes. It’s beautiful. We walked through the forest on our way back. It was worth it for me!

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.
