Lovely museum,. In particular, the English guided tour was very interesting. They have a very nice collection of Viking treasures, from a nearby ancient settlement. They also have a good collection of medieval church art.

Full of history, good place to pass the time. Disappointed when purchasing the tickets staff didn't tell us that 2 of the museum's are closed for renovations. I understand reservations happen but why are the tickets still the same price. At the end of the day everything else was good.

The museum is small but there is real work on the exhibitions, especially on the ground floor with the history of Lund University. Upstairs, the collection of wooden religious art is impressive. You will be warmly welcome at the entrance. I look forward to seeing the next exhibition!

When we visited the museum it was free to enter where we were greeted by super friendly staff at the entrance. It's really cool that you can experience so many different time periods in the same place - and at the same time also have the opportunity to get to know the Swedish, Scanian and Scandinavian culture better.

St. Martin Rotunda

The Chapel of St. Martin is the only completely preserved Romanesque building in Vyšehrad and one of the oldest in Prague. In was built around 1100 in the eastern part of the fortified outer ward. Between 1100 and 1300, the Rotrunda was surrounded by a cemetery. The building survived the Hussite Wars and was used as the municipal prison of the Town of the Vyšehrad Hill.

During the Thirty Years’ War, it was used as gunpowder storage, from 1700 to 1750, it was renovated and reconsecrated. In 1784, the chapel was closed passed to the military management which kept using it as a warehouseand a cannon-amunition manufacturing facility. In 1841, it was meant to be demolished to give way to the construction of a new road through Vyšehrad. Eventually, only the original western entrance was walled up and replaced with a new one in the sountren side. The dilapidating Rotunda subsequently served as a shelter for the poor.
