Etymologyedit

Geographyedit
Temelín is located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of České Budějovice. It lies mostly in the Tábor Uplands, only the western part of the municipal territory with the villages of Lhota pod Horami and Sedlec lies in the České Budějovice Basin. The highest point is a hill at 525 m (1,722 ft) above sea level. The eastern municipal border is formed by the Vltava river and by the Hněvkovice Reservoir, built on the Vltava. The area is rich in small fishponds.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Temelín is from 1381. From 1482 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850, it was a part of the Neznašov estate.[2]
In the 1980s, the villages of Březí u Týna nad Vltavou, Knín, Křtěnov and Temelínec were demolished for the construction of the power plant.[3]
There is a railway running through the municipal territory, but there is no passenger transport.

Church of Saint Procopius
The main historical landmark of the municipality is the Church of Saint Procopius. It was built in the Gothic style around 1300. In the 18th century, it was partially rebuilt and modified in the Baroque style. Next to the church is a separate bell tower from the 16th century. The church is the last remnant of the abandoned village of Křtěnov.[6]

The Býšov Fortress is located in the area of Knín. It dates from the 14th century.[8]
In the centre of Temelín is a chapel from around 1905.[2]
