Perfectly maintained and presented, including a small expo of middle age art treasure. Summer Saturdays at noon Organ concerts. All together an impressive visit.

One of the greatest churches in Bavaria! You will be astounded at the architecture and beauty! Internal space that seems to reach to the heavens, a perfect place for reflection and awe. Plenty of nooks and chapels filled to the brim with beautiful religious art. Highly recommended and they can’t miss for Bavaria!

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.
