History & geography

History

The first written mention of Chýnov is from 981, when it was mentioned in Chronica Boemorum. From 1250, the village was owned by the bishopric in Prague. During the rule of bishop Arnošt of Pardubice, the local fortress was rebuilt into a castle, and ponds were established. In the second half of the 15th century, Chýnov was bought by the Malovec of Malovice family. In 1719, the estate was acquired by the House of Schwarzenberg. They had rebuilt the castle into a Baroque aristocratic residence. In 1903, Chýnov was promoted to a town.

Geography

Chýnov is located about east of Tábor and northeast of České Budějovice. The built-up area lies in the Křemešník Highlands, but the municipal territory extends into the Tábor Uplands in the west. The highest point is the hill Ve Vrších at above sea level.
