Karlstejn Castle Tour from Prague

During this tour, you will have the opportunity to visit Karlstejn Castle, one of the most impressive Gothic castles in the Czech Republic. This high Gothic castle, founded in 1348, holds a unique position among Czech castles. It was built by the Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV as a place to house royal treasures, especially Charles's collection of sacred relics and the coronation jewels of the Roman Empire. Completely original are the 14th-century wall paintings, the collection of 129 panel paintings by Master Theodoric in the Chapel of the Holy Cross (the largest of its kind in the world), the largest gallery of portraits of Czech sovereigns in the country, and a replica of the crown of the Holy Roman Emperors and the crown of St. Wenceslas—the coronation crown of Czech kings. Karlstejn Castle was one of the symbols of the Czech kingdom. It is situated in a picturesque location amidst dense forests not far from the capital. The trip to the castle is one of the most popular tours for visitors to Prague.
