Castle Krivoklat
Records mentioning the royal castle Křivoklát date back to 1100 A.D. though today’s building dates from the late 13th century. It was enlarged and fortified at the end of the 14th century. Thanks to all these renovations and continual reconstructions the castle shows all the phases of the Gothic style. The castle is considered unique from an architectonic point of view, also for being similar to the French castle concept. Křivoklát was once the royal hunting lodge of Charles IV. Inside you can see the vaulted King’s Hall, a Gothic chapel with a fine carved altarpiece, a dungeon once used as a prison and now home to a grim assortment of torture instruments, and the Knights’ Hall, a collection of late Gothic paintings and many sculptures. Křivoklát is situated 40 to 50 km west of Prague; with around 250,000 visitors a year it is the second most visited castle in the Czech Republic. One of the best things about a trip to Křivoklát is the surrounding countryside, with numerous trails suitable for hiking, biking, and leisurely strolls.
