Kaà ¡perk Castle Karlsberg is a medieval castle placed in southwestern Bohemia modern Czech Republic,
Kaà ¡perk Castle was founded in 1356 by Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia Charles IV to protect Czech borders. Historians and scholars believe the castle was built, primarily, for three reasons. The first was about security. Bohemia needed to bolster their border defense against Bavaria. Secondly, the castle`s location was chosen so as to allow for absolute control over the gold-rich region near Kaà ¡perské Hory. The third reason for building Kaà ¡perk Castle was because Kaà ¡perk lay in the path of the `Golden Route,` a trade route that connected Bohemia and Bavaria to the affluent areas of western Europe
