Fantastic scenery and at the same time a nice experience. As soon as you reach the castle you are in the 21st century of the Middle Ages ?. The hosts are very friendly and the service is great. The food is great. Reaching the room is a bit difficult, but that's just nagging at the highest level, because who can claim to have slept in a castle?? ☺️

This is an old nice castle, which is used as an hotel, surrounded from apple trees and vineyards. They have nice pool with a wonderful view. It is very difficult to get a hotel room, since a lot of people want to stay here.

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.
