After the castle, there is only a tower, a well-kept area, you can walk and relax. The small museum is closed. Generally, I do not recommend a special trip, but if you are somewhere in the area, you can easily go there.

1. The first wooden and earth stronghold was conquered by the Teutonic Knights in 1329. Casimir the Great regained Kujawy in 1343 and built a castle here in 1350 to protect Poland from the Teutonic Knights. 2. In the following years, the castle and the district office of Przedmieście were the queen's emoluments. Among others, Elżbieta Rakuszanka, Barbara Zapolya and Bona Sforza. 3. The castle was not destroyed by warfare, but fell into decline due to the decline in its defensive value due to the development of weapons. First, the moat was filled in and then the castle itself was demolished. 4. All that remained of the castle was the tower, which became the bell tower of the Evangelical church built next to it in 1828. The church was built by German colonists who came here. 5. After the war, the church was taken away from the evangelical commune and rebuilt into a grain warehouse of GS Samopomocy Peasants. In 1960, the castle was taken over by the city, and in 1977 a community center was opened here.

Only the name remained of the castle. From what I learned, a church was built on the ruins of the castle and now there is a Cultural Center there. There is practically nothing to see. You can enter the tower, but there is nothing interesting there. Even the view through the tower's windows is severely limited by trees.

Great place, pleasant, quiet Although there are sometimes men who like alcohol hanging out there, I have never experienced any unpleasant behavior from them On the contrary, one gentleman saw that I was taking photos with the girl and even walked away so as not to disturb us There is a few graffiti on the wall, which spoils the view of the building, but the park around the castle is very nice and worth seeing, even if just passing through. It will also be a great place for anglers because there is a special pier for them and a small piece of beach where you can sit comfortably.

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.
