Built in the thirteenth-century probably by Přemysl Otakar II on a 60-meter high cliff, Orlík Castle dominates the Vltava River valley.

At this time it was a wooden castle like an eagle’s nest.

In later centuries it gained the appearance of a stone Gothic castle for the royal garrison.

However, the rock and the settlement below the castle were swallowed up by a dam in the 20th century, but the impressive appearance and the ancient name Orlík (Small Eagle) were preserved.

Orlík Castle has long belonged to the Schwarzenbergs, an influential family during the reign of the Habsburgs.

Today, the castle museum houses the personal collection of this noble family.

The arms room has an exceptionally beautiful interior.

Access to the château is by a stone bridge across the moat.

Three round towers rise above the main facade, one of them being the original, built in the 14th century.

The passage into the château is cut into the rock and leads to a trapezoidal courtyard, with arcades on the ground floor.

The oldest building is the former palace, which dates from the 14th century and forms the north side of the courtyard.
