Karlstejn Castle Tour
The
castle is exceptional even among Czech castles, not only for its historical
significance but also due to its robustness and architecture. It was
established by the Czech King Karel IV, in 1348 as a stronghold for the
Imperial Crown Jewels. The most sacred place of the whole castle, the
Chapel of Holy Rood, houses a collection of 128 panel paintings. Its
current neo-gothic appearance dates to the turn of the 19th to 20th century.
Duration of the tour is 4 hours.
