The Archives of the Prague Castle

The archives originated in their present form as late as 1920, when the long-standing tradition of storing important state documents and other record in various places in the Castle was kept. Apart from the Crown Archives, the written materials of the Metropolitan Chapter attached to St. Vitus's Cathedral and of the Prague archbishopric as well as the archives of the courts and central institutions which had their seat here (for example, the Czech Chamber, the Court of Appeal, the Land Rolls, the governor's office and the Court Building Office have been kept at the Castle in the course of the centuries). The location of the archives has changed many times and on some occasions they were even removed from the Castle. Today a number of important documents is deposited in the State Central Archives.
