A neo-Gothic church in Vaduz, it was built in 1873. It's majestic standing in the centre of the city. No fee to view inside, and it's definitely worth going inside.

This is one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Vaduz. Entrance is free and not restricted. Inside of the cathedral is extremely silent and clam and the interior is beautifully designed. There's nothing much to do in this city. If you plan to visit Vaduz, don't forget to add this location to your itenerary.

Nice to visit but apart from this church there aren't many things to see, especially, the Schloss is not open for public. It's kind of a boring town. And seems some tourists just come here for the passport stamp.

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.
