It's a church true to the Norwegian form, finished 1150 with last major overhaul 1888 same as the weather vane say. It seat 550 and on Christmas Eve all is needed. The magical feeling when you enter the full church can not be described. "But be aware one a evening with full church it suppose to slide out in the river and kill all" (old saying) Well maintained cemetery frame the church, with old large trees and it's a peaceful place to reflect and ponder over life's small secrets. All honor to the caretaker, and pleas don't paint the church, flicking yes, full overhaul no.

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.
