Karlstejn

Karlštejn occupies a narrow stretch of the Berounka River valley in the Central Bohemian Region. Above the settlement rises Karlštejn Castle, founded in 1348 by Charles IV to safeguard royal and imperial treasures. Its stepped arrangement of towers and palaces reflects the castle’s role as a fortified royal residence, while the Chapel of the Holy Cross in the Great Tower ranks among its most important interiors. The surrounding Český kras Protected Landscape Area is shaped by limestone hills, forests and caves, placing the village within one of the country’s best-known karst regions.
