Orlik - October 2006

(Pisek Region) Founded by Premysl Otakar II as a royal castle on a high rock overlooking the River Vltava valley, it belonged to the king until 1357. The Svamberks converted it into a Renaissance palace and the Schwarenberks came into possession of the property in 1717. Its present appearance comes from a neo-Gothic reconstruction its the historical important interiors.
