Museum · 45 min · mechanical and gingerbread cribs · weekends in autumn

On the village square, on the way to the castle. What stands out most is the Royal Nativity: 80 square metres of figures in Gothic costume that move and tell, mixing history and legend, the story of Karlštejn, with Charles IV, St Wenceslas or the painter Theodoric. There are mechanical cribs that children set going, cribs of freshly made gingerbread and, in the courtyard, an alchemist's workshop from the time of Rudolf II that also moves.
From September to November it is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 to 16:00; in December, on Christmas hours, almost every day. The museum café opens from May to September. Phone: +420 721 029 362.
