The cemetery around the church was absolutely beautiful.

Nice and beautiful church, with a good priest

Nice little church, just a shame that two Christmas trees covered the bride and groom, so we couldn't see them during the wedding. Sincerely Birth

There is nothing that beckons like Idestrup in folk clothes, races, ages and all genders. Mosegaarden's children and a single, young and well-groomed man stand in front of the church and wait for today's protagonists to step out with a clear conscience. God has just told them that it may well be that they do not believe in him. But he believes in them. He repeats this just in case, before the children become first young, then adults and later completely impossible. No matter what. The Almighty sits in the sidecar for the rest of his life. No strings attached, as they say abroad.

The church was closed but the cemetery around it was absolutely beautiful.

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.
