Velešín

DE: Welleschin, Weleschin

260 Velešín Velešín is situated at an altitude of 548 m in the valley of the river Malše (Maltsch). It was first mentioned in a document in 1266 and obtained the status of a town in 1391. Much of the romantic landscape on the river disappeared when the water reservoir of Římov (Rimau) was built in 1979.

The church of St. Philip and Jacob [top] was built in Gothic style.
