An important seat of the Czech kings and princes, this is one of the oldest and most significant Gothic castles in the Czech Republic. The castle was established in the 13th century by King Wenceslas I. Gotthic art displays are presented in the Kings´and the Royal Hall.
Originally it was a hunting castle. Its appearance was shaped by the Přemyslids, Luxembourgs and Jagiellons. The castle became a magnificent royal residence, and later a feared prison under the Fürstenbergs.
