Karlstejn Castle - a symbol of Czech history and a treasure of Europe
Karlštejn Castle is one of the most famous monuments in Bohemia and is of exceptional importance for Czech and European history. It was founded in the 14th century by Emperor and King Charles IV as a safe place to store the crown jewels and other valuables of the Holy Roman Empire. It was here that the Czech crown jewels were kept for a certain period of time, which gives the castle an exceptional historical significance.
Karlštejn served not only as a fortress, but also as a representative residence of the monarch. The most important part is the Chapel of the Holy Cross, which was designed to protect the most precious relics. Thanks to its location near Prague, the castle became a symbol of the power and stability of the Czech kingdom.
Today Karlštejn is a popular tourist destination. It is a reminder of the time when the Czech lands played a key role in Europe and were the centre of political and cultural events.
