Very beautiful building. You wished you could get closer so you could see more. You got a good walk as the castle is privately owned, so no cars are allowed to enter. Once at the castle, you followed the arrows that showed the loop around the castle

Now there is "traffic forbidden" sign 1 km away from the castle (on the road to the farm) and no parking next to it. Since it is unclear where it is actually allowed to walk we could not visit.

Not possible to drive up to the castle due to prohibition signs. Motor vehicles not allowed

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.
