Litice Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Litice nad Orlicí, Czech Republic.

Litice Castle is a ruin on a wooded slope above Litice nad Orlicí, about 7 km west of Žamberk. Its tall square tower has a steep dark pyramidal roof, and a lower rectangular wing with a steep pitched roof stands to its right. The walls are pale grey unplastered stone with small windows, and a ruined stone wall extends to the right.

Construction began around 1300 when the Drslavic family built the first structures on this rocky site. The castle later came under the control of powerful rulers like John of Bohemia and Charles IV, and underwent major renovations in the mid-15th century.

The stone relief above the pedestrian gate shows King George of Poděbrady with heraldic symbols, reflecting the craft skills of the 15th century. This carving reveals who controlled the castle and the power it held during that era.

The castle stands on a wooded headland above the Divoká Orlice, reached by paths on steep slopes; the gate was once crossed by a drawbridge over a deep moat. The southern palace and its slim square tower were stabilized by repairs between 1890 and 1894 and again in the 1920s and 1930s. The site is managed by the National Heritage Institute.

The Moravian Church did not name Lititz after the Drslavic family; settlers from Bohemia gave the Pennsylvania town the name of this castle. The link runs through the church's Bohemian origins, not through the castle's medieval owners.
