history
Settlement of the area began in the 11th century. It is believed that Týniště was raised to a town around 1300. While the Štěpánovsko district has been documented since 1336, the town of Týniště was first mentioned in 1361. At that time it was owned by the Dobruška Sezema . His son Stephan / Štěpán von Opočno sold it to the East Bohemian nobleman Puta von Častolowitz in 1390 . In 1431 the Hussites moved from Hradec Králové via Týniště and burned the town down. In 1440 Hynek Kruschina von Lichtenburg acquired Týniště together with other East Bohemian estates from Anna von Kolditz , the widow Puta d. J. von Častolowitz , whom he married a short time later. After Hynek's death in 1454, his son Wilhelm sold the East Bohemian lands formerly belonging to the Častolowitz family to the then provincial administrator and later King George of Podebrady , presumably on the basis of a preliminary contract concluded by his father . During the Bohemian-Hungarian War, troops of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus looted the place in 1470 . In 1495 Wilhelm II of Pernstein acquired Týniště and added it to the Pottenstein reign . He had a system of fish ponds built on the Adler. At this time the 17.5 km long Vantroka Canal was built, which leads in Častolovice from the Bělá to the Dědina near Třebechovice pod Orebem and supplied the ponds and a mill, board saw and fulling machine with water at Týniště. The Pernsteiners remained the owners of the town until 1556. After that, Hans Haugwitz von Biskupitz acquired the Týniště rule. He started rafting on the Adler in 1572. Because of over-indebtedness, the Týniště estate including the fortress was sold to the brothers Georg, Johann and Wilhelm von Oppersdorff in 1577 . Friedrich von Oppersdorf united the rule with Častolovice in 1586. In 1615 Týniště burned down. In 1684 Thomas Czernin von und zu Chudenitz acquired the united rule, he was followed in 1695 by the Bohemian castle count Adolf Wratislaw von Sternberg . In 1733 another city fire broke out.
In the second half of the 19th century, Týniště became a railway junction. In 1874 the Austrian Northwest Railway opened the line from Prague to Hannsdorf and the following year the State Railway Company opened the line from Chotzen to Halbstadt . As a result, factories settled in the arable and craft town and the cityscape changed. Instead of the wooden houses on the market, brick buildings were built and new city quarters were created. On February 1, 1914, Emperor Franz Joseph I. elevated Týniště to the city.
