Volyně, Medieval town in Strakonice District, Czech Republic.

Volyně is a town with special privileges in the South Bohemian Region. The center is shaped by the Renaissance town hall built between 1521 and 1529, while a Gothic fortress and the Church of All Saints serve as other notable structures.

The settlement received town privileges in 1299 after its first documented mention in 1271. This early recognition helped establish it as an important regional center.

The Renaissance town hall and Gothic fortress remain the focal points of public life in this place. Walking through the town, you notice how these structures anchor the community's sense of identity.

The town connects to Strakonice via the I/4 road and has a railway line serving the region. These transport links make it easy to explore the surrounding area and nearby towns.

Educational institutions here have operated since 1864, covering all levels from preschool to vocational training. These schools have been part of community life for over 150 years.
