UNESCOMŮŽEŠ [unesco you like] - Karlštejn Castle
The Castle was built by the Roman Emperor and Czech King Charles IV in 1348–57. The castle was intended as a stately and safe depository for the Imperial and Bohemian Crown Jewels as well as the extensive Imperial collection of holy reliquaries. The core of the castle consists of the rectangular Imperial Palace, a smaller residential tower with the Church of the Virgin and the particularly valuable St. Catherine's Chapel. The ideological centre of Karlštejn Castle is the residential Great Tower with the Chapel of the Holy Cross. At the end of the 19th century the castle underwent extensive re-Gothicization under the supervision of the Czech architect Josef Mocker. Given the state of the castle in the early 19th century, this extensive renovation has resulted in the preservation of a monument of immense historical and artistic value.
About:
There are currently twelve unique Unesco World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic that you can visit. However, there are many more fascinating sites in this beautiful country. In the Unescomůžeš (Unesco You Like) project we bring you a number of short documentary videos about the sites which are listed in the Czech Republic's Unesco World Heritage Tentative List. One day, these sites may become part of the World Heritage. Until that time you can enjoy their unique beauty in our videos and maybe it might even inspire you to choose the Czech Republic for the destination of your next trip. All of the films were shot by Czech photographer Ondrej Tylcer and each movie is accompanied by soundtrack music which was inspired by the site's mood, produced by the renowned Czech musician Robert Forman.
The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture Czech Republic.
