The crown of Saint Wenceslas, which is a national relic and an unofficial symbol of Czech statehood and sovereignty, is particularly respected there. The Crown of Saint Wenceslas (Svatováclavská koruna) is a coronation insignia, the crown of the rulers of Bohemia from 1347 to 1836. It is kept in the Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus, and Adalbert in Prague. The crown contains a thorn from Christ's crown brought from Paris.
The symbol of the Czech Republic is also the linden tree, whose leaves are depicted, among others, on the state seal and banknotes.
