Orlík Castle is a château 500 metres in Orlík nad Vltavou, in Písek District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. The original position of the spur castle, on a rock 60 metres above the Vltava valley, was altered by the creation of the Orlík Reservoir in 1954–62, and the chateâu is now barely a few metres above the water level.
The meaning of the name Orlík stems from the word "young eagle". It is often suggested that this castle would have resembled an eagle or nest perched upon the rocky outcrop above a turn in the river.
