Steyregg Castle

Steyregg, Austria

Steyregg Castle dates back to the late 11th century (a similar structure, most likely made from wood, was there already before the turn of the last millenium). After the castle had been hit by two fires in the 18th century the original architecture remained largely untouched afterwards.

The castle was carefully renovated and extended in 2004 and its splendid rooms can be rented for private events. Especially beautiful is the castle chapel (late 13th – early 14th century) with its magnificent gothic frescoes from the 14th century (redone in baroque style in 1680). Parts of Steyregg's former city walls are still in good condition.

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.
