The land of Czechia includes more than 1000 castles and chateaus. If you have to pick only one to visit, Karlstejn castle is a great choice. The role of this medieval castle (14th century) exceeded any other in the country - it was designed as a place to store the crown jewels, royal treasures and collections of holy relics. Today the castle has become the jewel itself.
