History
The first written mention of Radomyšl is from 1284, when it was a property of Bavors of Strakonice. In a deed from 1320, in which Vilém Bavor of Strakonice donates the church and the rectory to the Knights Hospitaller, Radomyšl was already referred to as a market town. In 1359, in his will, Vilém Bavor transferred ownership of the entire village to the Knights Hospitaller order, which owned Radomyšl until the abolition of serfdom in 1848.[4]

Sights
There are two churches in the market town. The Church of Saint Martin in the centre of Radomyšl was originally a Romanesque church. Shortly before 1388, it was rebuilt in the Gothic style, then it was baroque rebuilt in the early 18th century. The second church is the Church of Saint John the Baptist on a hill east of Radomyšl. It is a pilgrimage church from 1733–1736 that replaced an old Renaissance building. Both churches are connected by the Stations of the Cross.[8]
The town hall is a Neoclassical building from 1836.[8]
