Geography

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Tišnov_–_Květnice.jpg" caption="General view"] ::

Tišnov is located about 19 km northwest of Brno. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Boskovice Furrow, but the northeastern exclave lies in the Upper Svratka Highlands and the southwestern exclave in the Křižanov Highlands. The highest point is a contour line at 497 m above sea level, located in the northeastern exclave. The town proper is situated on the left bank of the Svratka river.

History

The first written mention of Tišnov is from 1233, in a charter of the Porta coeli Convent in neighbouring Předklášteří. Tišnov was originally a market village located on an important trade route. It was owned by the Cistercian convert until its dissolution in 1782. Already in the 13th century, Tišnov developed into a small town.

In 1416, King Wenceslaus IV granted Tišnov the right to hold an annual market. It was burned down during the Hussite Wars in 1428 and damaged by the Thirty Years' War. It was also damaged by fires several times, the largest fire occurred in 1668. In 1788, Tišnov was promoted to a town. The town was affected by the passage of Napoleonic troops in 1805 and 1809, and by the Austro-Prussian War in 1866.

A railway line connecting Tišnov to Brno was constructed in 1885, and in 1905 the track was extended to Havlíčkův Brod.

From 1918 to the 1930s, the town experienced economic and construction growth. The town's debt has slowed down further development, which did not occur again until after World War II.

Among the main landmarks of Tišnov is the town hall. It was built in 1905 and designed by the architect Vladimír Fischer, replacing the original town hall from the 16th century. It is decorated by sgraffiti showing scenes from the history of the town.

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus was first mentioned in 1239. The wooden structure was replaced by a stone one in the 15th century. The church tower used to be a separate watchtower. The current form of the church is from the mid-19th century, when it was extended and connected to the tower.
