A well maintained wind mill museum... It has more than a century old farm equipment on display... Indoor museum with tools n equipment is very nice... A visit to this place is like a walk down into the history.... It also showcases the life the local population led a century ago... It has a small cafeteria offering limited food n snack items.. A must visit ...

Nice few hours to visit whilst in Säärema. Can go inside some of the windmills and experience it. Ticket is fair for family of 4 - two adults and 2 children.

We didn't go inside. The place is perhaps located in the middle of nowhere!

Not very welcoming, not only we were unable to order any food but for the inconvenience they also tried to charge money for visit even though we were only interested in food and nothing else. Not recommended

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.
