In 981 Chýnov was first mentioned in Kosmas Chronicle .

After the Slavíkovci were exterminated, the lands passed to the Přemyslids . The original fortress was converted into a Gothic castle in the 13th century, which at the time belonged to the Archdiocese of Prague . In the following years numerous noble families changed ownership, the last owners were the Schwarzenbergs . The last major conversion into a baroque palace with a large English garden took place between 1729 and 1730.
