The castle underwent extensive redevelopment as a royal residence under Charles IV, who commissioned the construction of St. Vitus Cathedral, which was begun in 1344 by builder Matthew of Arras. He was succeeded in 1356 by Peter Parler of Schwaebisch Gmuend, who built the St. Wenceslas Chapel, where the Bohemian crown jewels are housed, the high choir with the first net vaulting on the European continent and new decorative vaults for Bohemia's kings and princes. The Cathedral was finally completed in 1929. Forum 2000 participants are scheduled to hold a multi-religious reflection in the Cathedral Friday evening.
