Definitely worth seeing! The hour long tour was interesting and quite fun. We recommend.

La visita guidata ci ha accompagnato in un viaggio attraverso i secoli dalla prima fondazione del maniero su questa roccia aggettante sul corso dell'adige ai giorni nostri, ripercorrendo gli ampliamenti intervenuti insieme alle vicende delle casate che lo hanno abitato (von Montalban i fondatori nel 1200 e von Hendl che lo occuparono dal 1531). Agli inizi del 1800 Il castello ha subito profondi danneggiamenti a causa di intervenuti incendi. Entrato in possesso statale nel 1956 sono stati realizzati interventi di recupero completati nel 1995. Oggi è completamente restaurato ed è visitabile in molte delle sue zone: la cucina con l'adiacente sala da pranzo, le sale (ora) espositive al primo e secondo piano, la cappella e la sottostante cantina. Un luogo suggestivo da conoscere sé di passaggio in Val Venosta.

Only show with ffp2 masks, even if vaccinated. This was not the problem, but the rudeness of the unpleasant lady who with a smile urged us to leave and who, after a good five minutes of explanation on the health regulations of South Tyrol, inconsistently left the reception by lowering the mask and staying at an insufficient distance from our person to guarantee us the same safety he was talking about a little earlier. We advise you, if you came with the wonderful little train, to get off at another stop.

Beautifully placed in the landscape, in midst the small village but above all buildings around (just seen it from outside)

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.
