Karlštejn Castle
What we'll do
We will walk up the hill to Karlštejn Castle’s courtyard. The castle sits on a steep hill and stays hidden from view until it suddenly appears high above you, creating a dramatic sight.
On the way up, we’ll pass through a small village at the base of the hill. The main road leading to the castle is lined with little shops and cafés, offering a great chance to take short breaks and enjoy the atmosphere.
Once we reach the top, we’ll be rewarded with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, making the climb well worth it.
Please note!
Karlštejn Castle has seasonal opening hours and is closed on Mondays. When open, we visit the freely accessible courtyards. If it is closed, we still enjoy the surroundings below the castle or suggest a suitable alternative stop based on timing, road conditions, and visibility.

About Karlštejn Castle
Karlštejn Castle, built in the 14th century by Czech king and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, was designed as a fortified treasury to safeguard the royal treasures, sacred relics, and the Bohemian Crown Jewels. Strategically perched atop a steep hill, the castle was intended not only as a secure stronghold but also as a place of spiritual retreat for the emperor.
One of the most important and famous castles in Czechia, Karlštejn is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, featuring massive fortifications, soaring towers, and beautifully decorated interiors. Among its highlights is the Chapel of the Holy Cross, once used to store the crown jewels and adorned with precious stones and stunning frescoes by Master Theodoric.
Walking through the castle’s courtyard feels like stepping back in time, as the medieval atmosphere, well-preserved structures, and breathtaking views over the countryside make Karlštejn a true historical gem and a must-visit site in Czechia.
