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 settlement was burnt down at the end of the 1280's and a new castle and a town called Nový Týn ("New" Týn) were founded here. The town developed successfully and Emperor Rudolph II promoted it to a royal town in 1609. During the Thirty Years' War growth stopped, the town burnt down several times and was plundered twice. The new boom started after the Second World War.
14537 Tyn nad Vltavou Asteroid is a main-belt asteroid.
