Castle Karlstejn
The Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV lived in this Gothic castle built in the 14th century. It's roughly 30 kilometers (18 miles) from Prague and provides for a good day excursion for Castle Karlstejn visitors.
At various times, Castle Karlstejn has functioned as a battle fortification, a treasure depository, and a royal residence. The structure is divided into three tiers, each representing a distinct level of importance.
The Imperial Palace, Marian Tower, and Big Tower are the portions, in order, from lowest to tallest. The Imperial Palace was home to the Knights and the Emperor, the Marian Tower was allocated for the Empress, and the Big Tower was dedicated to God and contains a chapel.
