What an amazingly beautiful lock.... ?++++ We only viewed it from the outside and really enjoyed the very beautiful and well-kept gardens...???

The Heringastate, or also the Poptalot, is a relatively small fortress, but the beautiful interior and certainly the very enthusiastic narrating guide made it an unforgettable experience. Daily and hourly guided tours only in July and August. Highly recommended. Thanks again to our guide, we really enjoyed it.

Beautiful castle near the highway. Nice to stop and take a walk. Admire the well-kept castle garden. A gem in the area which is already visible from a distance. It's great that it's so quiet there!

Very nice lock, but unfortunately was not open. The garden made up for everything. What a beautiful old chestnut can be found here

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.
