Roosna-Alliku Manor

Roosna-Alliku, Estonia

The Roosna-Alliku Manor was donated to von Rosen family in 1620 by Christina, Queen of Sweden. The coat of arms of family features a white rose, which has become the symbol of the manor. In 1721 it was acquired by von Stackelbergs. The present main building is one of the most impressive examples of early classical manor architecture in Estonia, completed by Otto Friedrich von Stackelberg in 1786. Worthiest of attention in the interior are the two rooms with artificial marble walls. The manor building has been a school since 1924. Visits during the school period are possible by appointment only.

Wonderful building and amazing park. The children are lucky to study here. “The Roosna-Alliku estate was formed at the beginning of the 17th century from the villages of this area. Roosna-Alliku manor house (built between 1780 and 1786, the architect was the Estonian gubernatorial architect Johann Schultz). The main building is a two-story stone building in the style of early classicism."

Beautiful manor house. There is a school in the building. The manor is surrounded by a large park. If you get into the area, it is worth visiting. In a good case, you could also peek into the manor.

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.
