Schwarzenberg Vault in Orlík nad Vltavou, Neo-Gothic family tomb in Orlík nad Vltavou, Czech Republic

The Schwarzenberg Vault features a cruciform layout with two main floors and stands in the northern section of the castle park.

Karel Filip Schwarzenberg, who defeated Napoleon at Leipzig in 1813, initiated the construction of this burial site for his family line.

The entrance portal displays biblical inscriptions and detailed wood carvings that represent Czech architectural methods of the 1860s.

The vault lies 1500 meters northwest of Orlík Castle and requires advance arrangements for interior visits through the castle administration.

Twenty-four members of the Schwarzenberg secondary lineage rest within the vault, with the most recent interment occurring in 2023.
