history

Archaeological finds show that the area was settled at an early age. During the Celtic era, there was a fortress on the rocky spur of Zvíkov Castle, probably an oppidum .

In 1226, King Přemysl Otakar I acquired the Oslover Sprengel in exchange for six other villages from the Doksany Monastery and then had a royal castle built on the rocky spur between Moldau and Otava. Klingenberg Castle and its burgrave Konrad von Janovice were first mentioned in writing in 1234 during the time of King Wenceslas I. The settlement of Podhradí at the northern foot of the castle in the Otava Valley probably emerged immediately afterwards. The St. Nicholas Church was built in the second half of the 13th century. After the Hussites besieged Klingenberg Castle in 1430 , King Sigismund pledged the rule to Ulrich II von Rosenberg in 1431 because he feared that his burgrave Kunata Kapléř would soon overflow to the rebels. Heinrich V von Rosenberg , who had taken over the indebted rule in 1472, sold a quarter of the properties of the House of Rosenberg on September 28, 1473 , including the Klingenberger Pfand, to his cousin Bohuslav V von Schwanberg . Several property divisions took place under the von Schwanberg family. Podhradí was regarded as part of the castle until the 16th century, the first documented mention of the village did not take place until 1547. In 1574 Christoph von Schwanberg combined the rule of Klingenberg with his rule of Worlik, which he had acquired three years earlier . In 1584 Georg von Schwanberg assigned a large part of the Klingenberg and Mühlhausen estates to the Worlik domain. After the battle of the White Mountain , the estate of Peter von Schwanberg was confiscated and in 1622 the Eggenberg owners of the Worlik domain. The castle was left to decay after the Thirty Years' War and put back into a state of defense after the outbreak of the Turkish War in 1663. In August 1683 several neighboring noble families asked Prince Eggenberg to use the castle as a refuge because of the renewed threat from the Turks . After the male line of Eggenberg died out in 1717, the Schwarzenberg family inherited their property. The cemetery church of St. Nicholas in Podhrad was closed in 1829 at the instigation of the Oslover pastor; in 1833 it was looted and from 1837 partially demolished.

In 1837 the village of Podhrad , also known as Klingenberg and Zwikow , on the right bank of the Watawa at its confluence with the Vltava , consisted of 29 houses with 205 inhabitants. In Podhrad there was a public chapel of St. Nicholas and a mill on the Watawa. The parish was Voslow . Karlsdorf was not mentioned at this time. The residents were raftsmen and loggers. Until the middle of the 19th century, Podhrad, as part of the rule of Klingenberg, was subject to the Fideikommissherrschaft Worlik, including the allodial goods Zalužan, Zbenitz and Bukowan.

After the abolition of patrimonial Podhradí / Podhrad with the districts Oslav / Woslow , Svatá Anna / Sanct Anna , Tukleky / Tuklek , Louka / Lauka , Zvíkov / Klingenberg and Mošovice / Moschowitz from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Písek and the judicial district of Mirovice. The princes of Schwarzenberg had a forest workers' settlement built on the way to Oslov in the middle of the 19th century. The new street village was named Karlov / Karlsdorf in honor of Field Marshal Karl Philipp zu Schwarzenberg . Tukleky and Louka broke away from Podhradí in 1868. From 1880 the municipality was called Podhradí t. Karlov / Podhrad or Karlsdorf . The current place name Zvíkovské Podhradí was introduced in 1924. Oslov and Svatá Anna broke up in 1928. Between 1956 and 1963, the Orlík dam was built with which the districts of Podhradí and Mošovice were flooded. Podhradí is now 30 m below the water surface of the reservoir. During this time, the place received a convenient transport connection with the new state road II / 121. The former settlement of Karlov was expanded into a village. On January 1, 1980, Zvíkovské Podhradí was incorporated into Oslov. In 1991 the village had 147 inhabitants; at the 2001 census, 187 people lived in the 82 houses. On November 24, 1990, Zvíkovské Podhradí broke away from Oslov and formed its own community.

Today the municipality of Zvíkovské Podhradí relies primarily on tourism thanks to the location of the castle on a headland in the reservoir.

Former buildings

• St. Nicholas cemetery church in Podhradí, it was located below the Zvíkov castle at the confluence of the Otava and the Vltava. The brick Gothic building erected in the second half of the 13th century was probably painted with frescoes like the castle chapel at the transition from the 14th to the 15th century. In 1829 it was closed at the instigation of the Oslover pastor and looted in 1833. The three-winged altar from the 16th century was moved to the castle chapel. In 1837 the church was released for demolition. In the 1870s it was described as a ruin without a roof, and before 1918 there were remains of walls one to two meters high. Today it is located in the Orlík reservoir.
