Very nice place with a very nice park entrance 5 € to enjoy a 2 hour walk with a plan, part of the French garden and the rest rather in English Two ponds, one with very big fish and lots of pretty things to do.

Visit 2 people including 1 blind person. The unfriendly hostess refuses to apply 1 reduction. But only give 1 flyer! We discover that the castle cannot be visited. The park, rather 1 meadow and at the end of the forest. All the surrounding villages are flowery, the park practically nothing. Large trees have no name signs. We have better things to do in the area for more pleasant and free walks

A beautiful place where we had already been, unfortunately this last visit was totally spoiled by the noise caused by the gas cannons of the surrounding farmers, yet it is a Sunday (Mother's Day) gold, the use of these devices is prohibited on Sundays and public holidays, see prefectural decree. These farmers don't respect anything, they should be ashamed!! I hate them !!!

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.
