Nice place to picnic under the Himalayan cedars. Nice view over the roofs of the village. The rose garden requires an additional gardener!

The town hall park is very well maintained The flower beds are magnificent The rose garden is worth the detour and the vegetable garden is a good idea to supply schools

Nice place... Rose garden to visit. I put a 2 star for the wearing of the obligatory mask for the visit of the Museum of the leather and the tannery, in spite of the low attendance ... Too bad.

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.
