A nice church in a small village.

Jan Sognnes Rasmussen (2 years ago)
A beautiful medieval church, whose oldest parts, choir and nave, were built in the 12th century. The tower and sacristy are built later. The church is located to the west on an elevation in the terrain of the city. The country has in recent years become known for a 2 hectare field with lupins that is worth a visit just like the church is.

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.
