Věšín is a municipality and village in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 700 inhabitants.
The village of Buková is an administrative part of Věšín.
The name is derived from the personal name Věška (shortened form of Vieceslav).[2]
Věšín is located about 14km (09miles) southwest of Příbram and 63km (39miles) southwest of Prague. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Brdy Highlands, but the village proper lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is the secondary summit of the Praha mountain at 859m (2,818feet) above sea level. The Klabava River originates in the woods in the northern part of the municipal territory. The Buková Brook flows through the village of Buká and supplies a set of small fishponds there.
The first written mention of Věšín is from 1349, when it belonged to the Rožmitál estate. The village was founded in the second half of the 13th century.[2]
The I/19 road (the section from Plzeň to Tábor) passes through the municipality.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[3] In the centre of Věšín is the Chapel of Saint Francis of Assisi. It was consecrated in 1905.[2]
