Stångby church is located in the old village. When the railway arrived in the 1800s transferred much of the village south to Lund and is now next Pågatåg Station and Tower embankment. The church dates back to the 1100s. It played an important role during the Battle of Lund in 1676 and was intended as a Swedish viewpoint, but the battles were fought farther south. However, held an impromptu staff meeting on horseback a few hundred meters from the church. Where Charles XI decided to deliver battle and Skåne became Swedish. Both the Swedish, Danish and Scanian history was thus next Stångby church.

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.
