Degeberga Church

Degeberga, Sweden

Degeberga Church was built in the end of 12th century and it consisted of nave, choir and apse. The tower and vaults were added in the early 1400s.

The church is very stately and the buildings around with associated gardens are beautifully maintained. This place has been the house of God since time immemorial and those who are curious about its history can find much and more. Last but not least want to highlight the people I met here, I am extremely grateful for the warm happy reception I received here, also of course the beautiful singing of the choir and piano playing of the highest class. Peace of the Lord :)

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.
