Overview

Chýně is a town in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 5,200 inhabitants. The town is located in the Prague Plateau. Chýně is among the fastest-growing Czech municipalities in the 21st century and was promoted to a town only in 2023.

History & geography

History

The area of the town has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Iron furnaces that were found here are the oldest examples known in Bohemia and Moravia. The first written mention of Chýně is from 1273. The village used to belong to Strahov Monastery and until recently it was a small farming community. Proximity to Prague, the airport, and the motorway to Plzeň led in the 1990s to the development of some logistics and construction industries. The municipality has grown considerably with some large housing developments to the west, and it is losing some of its rural character.

Geography

Chýně is located about west of Prague. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Prague Plateau. The stream Litovický potok runs east along the northern border and supplies two small fishponds. The upper pond is called Bašta and is used for recreational purposes. The lower pond is called Strahovský rybník.
