Ono je to všechno trochu obestreno tajemstvím to datum a vlastně je to jen dohad. V soudobých pramenech žádné konkrétní datum není, jistě je ze se v udávané roce založila vinice. U staveb otce vlasti hrála numerologie důležitou roli a jsou to číselné řady. Ono známé 5.30cet 9.tého července 1357 u mostu. Takže i u Karlštejn lze předpokládat něco podobného a údajně datum vlastně je kombinace čísla 3.ale mám pocit, že datum založení hradu je z hajkovy kroniky a to byl velký popletal.

Around 200,000 visitors come there every year. Karlštejn is one of the most popular castles in the Czech Republic. On April 10, 1348, the builder Charles IV started to build it. Matthias of Arras.
The name of the castle was created by combining two German words, namely "Karls-stein", i.e. Karl's Stone or Karl's Rock Castle. According to some sources, the foundation stone was not laid until June 1348. Charles IV was busy, so he entrusted his friend and Prague archbishop Arnost of Pardubice with the task.
The construction was not completed until nine years later. It was half a day's ride from Prague. It was intended to provide the monarch with a luxurious private place for meditation and prayer on the one hand, and on the other hand a quiet place for discreetdiplomatic meetings with domestic advisers, imperial counsellors and diplomats from all over Europe.
But the main purpose was different. "It was to keep the imperial and Czech crown jewels in the solid tower of Karlštejn and its symbolically decorated cross chapel. The chapel of St. On festive days, the Cross shone in the candlelight with hundreds of precious and semi-precious stones, illuminating theTheodoret's paintings and symbolised the firmament and the host of its saints," says the History of the Czech Lands.
The relics of saints found a place there because Charles IV was famous for his passion for collecting relics all over Europe. Those who wanted to curry his favour brought gifts to his collections. "The tradition, which was much more alive in imperial terms than in Bohemia, was introduced by the emperor at Nuremberg in the mid-1450s. The Nurembergers made an inventory of the jewels and relics that were to be preserved at Karlštejn, and described the processions and processions that were associated with their presentation. From 1382 they were exhibited in the chapel of the same name in Nové Město in Prague," the History of the Czech Lands states.
Karlštejn is often referred to as the best-preserved monumental Gothic fortress in Central Europe. People admire Karlštejn for its romantic, historicizing appearance, which the Czech architect Josef Mocker imprinted on the castle at the end of the 19th century. The reconstruction was accompanied by much controversy at the time, as Mocker had some parts of Karlštejn demolished to create a modern ideal of the Gothic building style," writes Vladimír Liška in his book Historical Monuments.
Karlštejn has been owned by the state since 1918 and was declared a national cultural monument. It is still one of our most visited castles.

Chtělo by to nějaké fotky, když začali budovat tento skvostný hrad.
Někdo to snad cvaknul, no nééé. Nebo aspoň nějakou rytinu dobovou.
