Feistritz Castle is privately owned and is partly used as rented living space. It is not used for tourism.

The predecessor of the castle was built, a manor, according to F. Posch after 1122 by Hartwig von Reidling, who was also the founder and namesake of the neighboring (large) Hartmannsdorf (today community Großsteinbach). Like his brother Walter, the founder of Waltersdorf, Hartwig belonged to the clan of the originally High Liberty of Traisen-Feistritz, who had taken over the land around from the Palatine Electra Airbonen, who had been commissioned in 1020 with the clearing work in Eastern Styria.

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.
