The castle of Hrad Krivoklat, west of Prague, was built in the 12th century, complete with a Gothic chapel. Statues of the twelve apostles gazed at worshippers from high above and at the altar stood a statue of Jesus, flanked by angels with golden wings.
The chapel lasted while the castle went through many changes. By the 16th century Hrad Krivoklat functioned as a prison, and in 1591 a highly unusual prisoner was sent there, a lone Englishman of middle age and cropped ears named Edward Kelley.
