Rumlaborg Castle Ruins

Huskvarna, Sweden

Rumlaborg castle was built around 1360 - the first written record dates from 1366. In 1434 it was burned down during the so-called Engelbrekt rebellion and rebuilt again in 1448 by Karl Knutsson Bonde. In the 17th century the castle lost its defensive purpose and in 1850s the site was moved as a park with pavillion.

It's always as nice to get there

Nice to walk around, a little shame that the Lusthuset looks very much included. But good with the benches around, where you can sit o look o philosophize ......

Historic medieval site that neither municipality nor any other state actor devoted any commitment to. Not even an information board.

Huskvarna's landmark .... ;-)

Historic site well worth a visit. The castle built in the 14th century for strategic function. More fact signs should, however, be set up in the park and hiking area. Among other things, the understanding had increased if its former appearance was illustrated on overview signs.

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.
