The castle was established around the middle of the 13th century. At first it consisted of a rather small palace protected from the access side by walls and three defensive towers. The fire which destroyed Orlík in 1508 and the subsequent emancipation of the castle from feudal obligations brought about an extensive late Gothic reconstruction. Just before 1588 the Italian master, Augustin Orlík, performed a Renaissance adaptation of the castle. The importance of Orlík was strengthened considerably at the beginning of the 19th century when Count Karl Schwarzenberg chose it as his residence. (His descendant of the same name is the present owner of the castle.) After the fire of 1802 that disturbed and delayed the works upon the ongoing radical reconstruction of the castle designed by K. J. Lang, another floor was added to the manor. It is interesting that this reconstruction already gave the manor the Romantic Gothic style which was further emphasized by the renovation of the facades in 1860 - 1862.
