Karlstejn Castle is a large Gothic-style castle from the mid-14th century. It is one of the most well known and most frequently visited castles in the country and has served as a safe place to store the country's imperial regalia, holy relics, crown jewels, and other royal treasures. The castle sits above a village of the same name about 20 miles away from Prague. The castle can only be visited on guided tours. There are basic and exclusive tour options ranging from 40 to 100 minutes in length.
