The. Castle and the view is beautiful, the castle park is very small, we didn't dare to look inside because there are many companies in it, but the walk to the castle was nice.

Charming chateau, beautiful bright rooms. Various business premises eg. Hairdresser, beauty room, costume tailor, artist, antiques...etc. The BnB is worth an overnight stay. The view is so beautiful and wide. Just great. Yesterday and today there were still market stands, yodelling with fine sausages, yodelling, castle coffee shop, balloon artists and various attractions. Just great. Absolutely again. Thank you for these beautiful moments.

+Nice castle with a nice courtyard and beautiful surroundings! +Free parking directly at the entrance +Friendly people +Lift, toilets, self-service drinks/coffee corner Was there for a course, Perfect experience! - Google Maps does not understand the end of the journey. Leads to a dead end and then wants you to hop over the creek and climb up the castle wall! ? Finally, follow the signs to SchlafSchloss ?

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.
