History

The first written mention of Týnec nad Sázavou is from 1318, when Oldřich of Týnec was documented as the owner of the local castle. The oldest part of the castle is a Romanesque rotunda, which indicates that the castle was built around 1200. In 1622, after the Battle of White Mountain, the town was acquired by Albrecht von Wallenstein. During his rule, the castle was burned down and the town was devastated. The castle was partially repaired, but in 1654, it burned down for the second time and became a ruin.[2]

In 1785, Týnec was acquired by Count František Josef of Vrtba, who restored importance to the neglected town. He founded a factory for earthenware here, and had the Týnec Castle with its Romanesque rotunda repaired.[2]


Economy


A traditional Czech manufacturer of motorcycles and mopeds, Jawa Moto, is based in the town.


Sights


The most valuable building and landmark of the town is the Romanesque rotunda, which is a part of the castle.[2] Today, the Týnec Castle houses the Town Museum. Its Gothic tower serves as a lookout tower.[3]
