KarlštejnHrad Karlštejn is a large Gothic castle. Located about 30 km southwest of Prague. It is one of the most famous and most frequently visited castles in the Czech Republic. Karlštejn was founded by Czech king and Roman king, later Emperor Karel IV. The castle was built upon a promontory from the south side of Kněží hora. The castle underwent several reconstructions: in late Gothic style after 1480, in Renaissance style in the last quarter of the 16th century. In 1487 the Big tower was damaged by fire and during the 16th century there were several adaptations.
