Tisem is a municipality and village in Benešov District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Tisem, meaning "Tisem's (court)".[2]
Tisem is located about 6km (04miles) southwest of Benešov and 32km (20miles) south of Prague. It lies in a hilly landscape of the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is at 410m (1,350feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Tisem is from 1325.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The most important monument is the ruin of the Kožlí Castle, located in the northeastern tip of the municipal territory. First mentioned in 1318, it was built in the first quarter of the 14th century. The castle was probably destroyed during the time of the Bohemian–Hungarian War (1468–1478). Several remains of perimeter walls and palace buildings have survived to this day. In the area of the castle ruin is also a small chapel from the 19th century.[4]
