The Church of St. Bartholomew near Červená nad Vltavou was relocated outside the flood zone in 1960 because of its historical and artistic value. It is the last reminder of the original settlement, which was flooded by the waters of the Orlík Reservoir. The ribbed vault of the presbytery is possibly the oldest of its kind in Bohemia.
