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 eas acquired by the House of Schwarzenberg. They had rebuilt the castle into a Baroque aristocratic residence in 1729.[2]

In 1903, Chýnov was promoted to a town.[2]
