History

The first written mention of Dynín is from 1341, when Peter I of Rosenberg donated part of the village to the Dominican monastery in Sezimovo Ústí. During the Thirty Years' War, the village was completely destroyed, but it was restored. In 1660, Dynín was listed as part of the Třeboň estate, and the estate was bought by the Schwarzenberg family. The Schwarzenbergs owned Dynín until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850.[4]
