Karlštejn castle

Tuesday trip was made to Karlštejn castle. The castle has been built in Gothic style in 1348 during the rule of the most famous Czech King and Roman Emperor Charles IV. The place was to store the royal treasures (coronation jewels and holy relics of Roman Empire, as well as Czech coronation jewels). One of the most famous parts of the castle is the Chapel of the Holy Cross whose walls are decorated by gemstones embeded in gold-plated parget.
