Hello fellow steemians,
If you are planning your trip to Prague and looking for a great place for a day trip to escape the busy capital then no need to look further. Cultural and historical significance as well as close location to Prague makes Karlstejn Castle just a perfect location that will enhance your experience while visiting the Czech Republic. Karlstejn Castle is one of Czech Republic's most famous castles. It was founded by Czech king and Holy Roman emperor Charles IV in 1348, the same year when the king founded Prague's New Town and Charles University. The castle was built to hold the royal treasures and coronation jewels of the Roman Empire, and served as the king's retreat. The Czech coronation jewels were kept there for almost 200 years during and after the Hussite wars in the 15th and 16th century. The castle was originally built in the Gothic style and reconstructed in the Renaissance style in the 16th century. Karlstejn stands on a hill surrounded by other hills, so it cannot be seen until you get very close. This clever strategy has paid off. Since it is impossible to see the castle from afar (and thanks to its thick walls), it was never conquered in the past. What would you say? Interesting place to visit?
