Týn nad Vltavou is counted among the oldest settlements in South Bohemia. In the 12th century (maybe in the 10th century) it used to be a fortified court of Prague's bishops with a market and parochial settlement with two churches.

The dominant feature of the square is the originally Early-Gothic St. James' Church founded around 1279.
