Beautifully restored church with a monumental organ. A visit to the church is definitely worth it.

Great beautiful church for concerts, etc. very old church of 68 meters long. At this time there was a concert. The church has digital screens to see everything clearly. Nice overview of everything. Highly recommended to come and see the church. Open daily from 9am to 5pm

Impressive interior! Such a building in such a small community ... Definitely worth a visit, even if it doesn't look like it from the outside (apart from the imposing size)

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.
