On November 29, 2023, pastor Mart Jaanson turned 20 years of service to Nõo Church. On the anniversary, the beginning of the church year and the 1st Advent service in the newly renovated church, interludes from the church's mixed choir.

The church was under construction/renovation. But the walkway to the top looks dangerous but definitely safe.

Most of the time this church is closed.. In special occasions like Christmas and Easter this opens.. Nice atmosphere available around in summer time..

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.
