The castle was constructed by the Bohemian king and Roman emperor Charles IV, who was so humble that he entered the highest and most sacred place (Holy Cross Chapel) only barefoot. The Chapel is adorned with 129 paintings and serves as an exceptional repository for crown jewels and holy relics (included in the exclusive tour).
This remarkable site is rich with stories and legends. One legend suggests that the castle was built solely for the kingâs secular and sacred purposes, and to facilitate meditation, women were prohibited from entering.
