Zamek Orlik, Stredocesky kraj, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

Zamek Orlik, Stredocesky kraj, Bohemia(CZ), 2015
This is Zamek Orlik one of two castles on Orlik. Like many castles in the Czech Republic, it could more easily be defined as a chateau. This "chateau" version, if that's a fair characterization, dates to 1508, after the original 13th-century castle burned down. Also, like most Czech castles, this complex was originally built on a hill, at an altitude of approximately 500 metres ASL. However, the contruction of the Orlike reservoir meant that it is no longer significantly higher than the level of the water (formerly of the Vltava, now of the reservoir).
