After it between pins Schlägl and Ostrov had come because of the Friedberger church a dispute, he was on December 7, 1313 on behalf of the Prague bishop Johann from Bechyně settled Erzdechanten.

In 1379 Ulrich I. von Rosenberg gave Frymburk market rights. Due to its location on the trade route from Austria to Bohemia , it also had the right bridge toll for the former bridge over the Vltava river to rise. In 1492 Peter Wok von Rosenberg granted Frymburk town rights and in 1551 or later Wilhelm von Rosenberg granted Frymburg brewing rights. At the end of the 16th century there were already 118 houses in Frymburk. In the Thirty Years' War Frymburg was destroyed and burned down by the Swedes under the command of General Arvid Wittenberg . In 1676 Frymburk was owned by the Buquoy family . In 1856 a fire destroyed the historic square and 54 houses. In 1881 Frymburk received the first street lamps and in 1884 a telegraph station .

When the Lipno Reservoir was flooded in 1959, some buildings and the old cemetery that were flooded had to be abandoned. Today Frymburk is primarily a resort that is visited by numerous tourists.

It was founded before 1277 and rebuilt in the late Gothic style in 1530 . 1649–1652 it was renovated as a result of the attacks by Sweden. Further alterations were made in 1735 and 1870. The church's furnishings come from the Baroque era .
  • The market square was transformed into a park after a fire in 1856 in the 1880s. Since the end of the 16th / beginning of the 17th century there has been an artificial brook in the middle of the market square, which is fed by the Podhorský brook .
