Volyně, Medieval town in Strakonice District, Czech Republic.

Located 461 meters above sea level, Volyně extends across 21 square kilometers of territory in the South Bohemian Region of Czech Republic.

The settlement received town privileges in 1299, following its first documented mention in 1271 when a Slavic community established roots in the area.

The Renaissance town hall, built between 1521 and 1529, stands as a central architectural element alongside the Gothic fortress and Church of All Saints.

The town connects to Strakonice via the I/4 road network and maintains a railway line extending to Volary for regional transportation needs.

Educational institutions in Volyně, established since 1864, include preschool, primary, secondary, and higher vocational schools serving the local population of 3,000 residents.
