Karlstejn Castle

This somber photo is one of my favorite HDRs taken during a trip to Czech Republic years ago. Karlstejn is a large Gothic castle founded 1348 CE by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor-elect and King of Bohemia. The castle served as a place for safekeeping the Imperial Regalia as well as the Bohemian/Czech crown jewels, holy relics, and other royal treasures. It is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southwest of Prague. It is one of the most famous and most frequently visited castles in the Czech Republic
