Gothic castle Karlstejn, founded in 1348 was built by the Bohemian King and Roman Emperor Charles IV as a place for safekeeping of the royal treasures and the royal coronation jewels. The construction of the castle was finished in 1365 when the Chapel of the Holy Cross situated in the Great tower was consecrated. Later, the castle was reconstructed in several periods: in late Gothic style after 1480, in Renaissance style in the end of the 16th century and lastly in the purist neo-Gothic style at the end of the 19th century. GEMA ART implemented works in scope of the restoration of exterior facades and wooden ceilings of the Imperial palace.
