Very nice and cozy little church. Very nice to look at. Many fine paintings and wooden details. Well maintained for being as old as it is. Fun with the bell tower a bit from the church. Well maintained and nice cemetery. Definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to check the opening hours so you can take a look inside too.

Deerberga church is located in historical areas opposite an interesting burial ground where the large bell tower is also located. There are bulletin boards that tell about the countryside, so the small whitewashed church that is one of Blekinge's oldest comes a little in the dark for runstones and various archaeological finds. There is a small parking lot below the bell tower.

Beautiful place just north of the E22 highway. The building dates back to 1250. The German priest Egino did missionary work here around the year 1000 converting the Viking, heathen people into Christianity. It's located near the biggest iron age cemetery on a heather field. I recommend everyone to go there and let yourself be drawn back a 1000 year. It's well worth the visit.

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.
