Korzkiew Castle

Korzkiew, Poland

The first castle in Korzkiew was erected in 1325 by Jan from Syrokomla. It was part of the 'trail of eagles nests', one of a chain of 14th century (reign of King Casimir) medieval castles that protected the north- western border of royal Krakow that went all the way to Czestochowa. The castle is being restored and currently houses a boutique hotel and a conference center-banquet hall.

Great visiting place, nice for a quick walk in the near park and forest area. Very interesting castle with rooms and spaces for rental - photoshoots, balls, family gatherings or so.

14th century castle which is being renovated and commercialized as a hotel and/or event-planning venue. Situated on a hill, bit far from Kraków. The surrounding and the building as a whole is really amazing but in some parts the clear architectural mis-match of the modern bricks and old stony walls can be visible. Interiors are though impressively decorated and nice overall ambiance. Friendly and welcoming staffs.

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.
