Perched high above the Berounka River and surrounded by lush forests, Karlštejn Castle is one of the most iconic and majestic landmarks in the Czech Republic. Just 40 minutes from Prague, this 14th-century Gothic fortress offers a wedding setting unlike any other — steeped in history, romance, and dramatic beauty.
Built by Emperor Charles IV, the castle carries centuries of royal legacy, making it a powerful and symbolic place to say “I do.” From the moment you and your guests enter the charming village below and make your way up the cobbled path to the castle gates, you’re swept into a fairytale. The ceremony space, set within the castle walls, provides breathtaking views of the countryside and the castle’s impressive stone towers. It’s an extraordinary setting for couples seeking a deeply historic, regal, and atmospheric wedding day. Whether you imagine an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, Karlštejn Castle offers a timeless and awe-inspiring backdrop.
Its unique character, dramatic presence, and close proximity to Prague make it one of the most unforgettable wedding venues in the country — perfect for couples who want their love story to begin in a place of true legend.
