Old and beautiful medieval church. It probably has the country's oldest clock.

The venerable church building dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paulus from the year 1166 is a great starting point for trips to Rømua and Glomma.

Beautiful old church dating back to the 1100's. Was fun to see how my family originated from this region.

Flott gammel kirke fra 1100 tallet. Presten fortalte mye interessant om kirken. Flott akustikk for orgel musikk.

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.
