At the rock over Vltava appeared in the half of the 10t h century, in the time
of the first Czech princess, the seat, that became the symbol of the Czech statehood.
Due to the legend there resided the first governors - Přemyslovci, including
the legendary princess Libuše, wife of the Přemysl the ploughman. In the
half of the 11 century and in the first half of the 12 century the castle was used
as the main residence of the clan Přemyslovci, but still it was in the subordinate
position to the Prague Castle. The legitimate part of Prague became Vyšehrad
first under the governing of Charles the IV that the castle altogether with
the Nové Město included in the range of fortification. The present shape got
the Vyšehrad slowly from the second half of the 17 century. A lot of attention
was given to Vyšehrad in the period of Romantism, mainly in the second
half of the 19t h century. The Vyšehrad fortification was abolished in 1911 and
since 1962 is the former Castle enlisted in the list of National cultural heritage.
