Romanesque style church, more beautiful on the outside and sober on the inside.

An absolutely stunning Romanesque church (I would say Norman, but that was just the period on British history).

Very beautiful Romanesque church in the center of Rosheim. Well maintained. Quiet place that calls for contemplation. Regularly the church hosts exhibitions, small concerts. Its square is also used during events organized by the city and its associations: Venetian carnival, Christmas market,...

A wonderful house of Christian worship. Please enter with respect. It is quite an architectual historical place but also a site of active religious practice. It should be admired. Yet visitors should open their hearts and minds to the fact that this isnt just a beautiful stone monument. It serves a lively congregation.

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.
