Chyše (German: Chiesch) is a town in Karlovy Vary District in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
Chyše consists of 11 municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
Chyše is located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Karlovy Vary. The built-up area lies in the eastern tip of the Teplá Highlands, but most of the municipal territory lies in the Rakovník Uplands. The highest point is at 607 m (1,991 ft) above sea level. The town is situated on the left bank of the Střela River.
The first written mention of Chyše is from 1169, when a fortress was documented here. For 200 years, it was owned by the Lords of Odolenovice.
According to the census of 1921, 93% of the population were Germans, 6% Czechoslovaks and 1% foreigners. The vast majority of the inhabitants were Roman Catholics, complemented by 20 Jews, six Protestants and three people without religion.
From 1938 to 1945, Chyše was occupied by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. After World War II, the town was returned to Czechoslovakia and the local German population was expelled.
Chyše is located on the railway line Rakovník–Bečov nad Teplou.
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, an annual meeting of micronations, known as the Micro Euro Summit, took place in Chyše Castle.
