Nösslinge Church

Skällinge, Sweden

Nösslinge Church was originally built in the Middle Ages, but restored in 1688 and 1865. There are beautiful paintings from the three periods painted in 1654, 18th century and 1812.

The church has a medieval door that once graced an earlier church. The font was made in the thirteenth century, and the pulpit, made in the 1500s, is the oldest in Halland county.

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.
