Located about 30 kilometers to the southwest of Prague, the Karlštejn castle is one of the most visited and famous castles of the Czech Republic. Built by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor and the King of Bohemia in the 14th century, it housed some of the most important relics of this era. Being the royal treasury, priceless artifacts such as the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and the Bohemian Crown Jewels, holy relics and royal archives were present in it, and thus, it was fortified extensively.

The layout of the buildings in the castle all the way up to the Imperial Palace was designed ingeniously and are a captivating sight. The individual castle buildings are arranged in a unique stair format, that is sure to leave you impressed. The centerpiece of the castle is the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The walls of this chapel are inset semi-precious stones, gildings, and astonishing 129 panel paintings. These paintings are that of popes bishops, knights, and mentors and form one of the largest collections of Gothic style art in the world.
