Tourism

Křivoklát is a popular tourist destination. It is the place where the medieval Křivoklát Castle is located and it also is the seat of the Křivoklátsko Landscape Protected Area.

History

The castle was founded during the 12th century. Between the 14th and 15th centuries, the first cottages appeared below the castle and the hamlet became known as Budy. Nearby hamlet Čamrdoves grew up, and during the 17th and 18th centuries they became one village. In 1886 the hamlets Budy, Amalín, Čamrdoves, and Častonice created one single administrative unit, the village of Křivoklát. A post-office was opened in 1851 under the German name Pürglitz.[2] Until 1918, the village was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Rakonitz – Rakovnik district, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[3]

gollark: What do you mean "terminal buffer"? It'll just send the entire framebuffer in some format on every update?
gollark: What do you mean "binary form"?
gollark: This might be a problem. Terminal escape sequence thingies are 0x1B then whatever, which is also a valid character for CC to print.
