Paper Model of Prague Castle (Cz) (Paper models of Czech Castles)

The biggest paper model of the biggest castle complex in the world. From the archaeological finds and oldest written records it is concluded that the Prague Castle was founded in the second half of the 9th century. The place was chosen very well and corresponded to all requirements for a fort location: it offered a good overview, it was naturally protected but well accessible, it was possible to control the important stretch of the Vltava river. In the southeast a long rocky ridge descended steep into the valley of the Vltava river, in the north into the ravine of the Brusnice brook. In the west it was divided from the rest of the promontory by a natural trench, the so-called Hradcany furrow. In it's original phase, the castle's perimeter was demarcated only with a trench. The Prague Castle of these days is the goal of thousands of Czech and foreign tourists, a place where huge exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events take place. It has an inimitable atmosphere and literally on every step it reminds it visitors of the history it has seen. The model is designed for advanced and experienced model makers. We recommend that the beginners try first the construction of a paper model on some smaller castle: e.g. Kost or Karlstejn castles.
