A lovely church. Classic church room with a modern touch. Nice soundscape for music performances and a newly renovated lovely organ that is truly integrated into the church.

If you love Scania, you should go here. This church that is like a cathedral. In the middle of the Scanian landscape. A must see before resting there.

The church is built in neo-gothic style, it resembles a cathedral. The church was inaugurated in 1897, when it replaced an older church that was demolished in 1895, from which, among other things, the baptismal font, the statue of Jesus and the large chandelier closest to the altar come from. The church was built predominantly with material from Asmundtorp's brickworks. It is a welcoming and warm church with a beautiful, loving and welcoming statue of Jesus. The statue is made in a single piece of marble.

Nice neo-Gothic church. Suitable for experiencing choirs and concerts in addition to the fine church work in the congregation.

A "cathedral" in the middle of the countryside! Pampish and beautiful, both outside and inside.

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.
