Dzialdowo Castle

Dzialdowo, Poland

Teutonic Knights conquered the Dzialdowo region and built a castle in the early 14th century. A wing of the castle still remains. The new settlement near the castle founded by Mikołaj z Karbowa and named Soldov was granted town privileges on 14 August 1344 by the Grand Master Ludolf König. The name Dzialdoff was first written on a 1409 map during the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War.

Poorly. It used to be a museum - wow, now it's poor. The idea of ​​tickets being purchased only at the castle's ticket office is wrong. As usual, we arrived at the Museum, and the lady at the "box office"(?) told us that we had to go 400m to the castle to buy tickets. Oh well. You are a museum "on the way", so we didn't want to waste time looking for ticket offices and dealing with a local visit, and we went to the Museum of the Battle of Grunwald. Pity. If there is a person at the entrance to the Museum of the Teutonic State anyway, why can't he sell tickets? I don't understand your idea. Maybe we'll come back someday, but for now you need an extra half an hour and luck to find a parking space both at the castle and at the town hall. Too much hassle. The second star out of sentiment for something you were in the past.

A baroque building in the very center of the city, on Adam Mickiewicz Square, built in the 18th century. It houses some departments of the City Hall, as well as the multimedia museum of the State of the Order of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the German House in Jerusalem.

Two stars for the fact that 10 years ago it was certainly a modern museum. Now, unfortunately, it is very different from many that I currently visit. There seems to be a lack of resources. Computers broken, projectors display films so that you can barely see them. Several things didn't work at once. When one person turns on the movie, it's hard for the other to focus, because everything "talks" at the same time - there are no headphones. The big screen in the last room was burnt... It was a multimedia museum - but 10 years ago. It's a pity, because there's a lot of knowledge to share. It's really sad that no one is subsidizing it.

Interesting museum on the first floor, a lot of interactive exhibits, a large interactive mock-up of the Battle of Grunwald. It is a pity that so many exhibits do not work. In the attic, a fantastic place for children, with many attractions for larger and smaller children. Worth a visit and a hidden and little advertised place.

The city of Działdowo is much larger than it seems. Initially, I planned a visit for 2-3 hours, but ... I ended up at the Borderland Museum. And I was stuck for almost 2 hours. Despite the fact that the museum is not large (you can even say small), it surprises us with a huge amount of knowledge about the Teutonic state, its beginnings and activities in Poland (and not only). This knowledge is presented in a very interesting way, the interactive media is well prepared and everyone will find something for themselves. There are not too many exhibits, but you cannot tear yourself away from simulations, video projects, 3D shows and boards. We'll find out a lot of things here that they didn't say in school, but I won't anticipate the facts. Let everyone see it with their own eyes and hear it with their own ears. There is an attic for the little ones. What is not there. Armory for boys, changing room for girls, you can take pictures of yourself in (virtual) costumes of knights, ladies of the court, etc. etc. There are interesting games, treasure hunt, you can listen to the sounds of the Middle Ages, and also ... find a real dungeon. And after the fun - you must visit the castle.

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.
