Radonín is a municipality and village in Třebíč District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 88 inhabitants.

The first written mention of the village dates from 1224, in 1303 a quarter of the village was donated by Jitka from Hodice to the parish in Želetava. In 1406, Radonín was listed as a deceased estate, which together with Valčí and Krahulov was donated by Margrave Jošt to Jan Hovorek of Hartvíkovice. After the death of Jan Hovorka, his wife Markéta teamed up with Smile from Heraltice and Adam Mikula from Račice, because she needed protection against Hynk from Pacov, who was making claims on Hovork’s property. As early as 1409, Markéta quarreled with Hynek of Pacov about the fact that she was forcibly holding her property in Valč and Radonín. Margrave Jošt, however, decided that most of Hovork’s estates would be donated to Mikuláš of Mochov.

However, Markéta remarried to Bernard from Šimkovice and they jointly owned property in Valč and Radonín. Bernarnd from Šimkovice resolved the disputes between the owners of Radonín by paying his wife Markéta’s dowry and transferring it to Nosislav, and thus Radonín became the property of the lords of Mochov. In 1437, the lords of Náramč bought Radonín, and in 1447, Radonín was owned by Drslav of Opatov and Želetava. At the end of the 15th century, Radonín then became part of the Brtnice estate.

At that time, Brtnice belonged to the Valdštejn family, in 1528 Burian from Valdštejn and Brtnice was the sole owner of the extensive estate. Subsequently, in 1600, Zdeněk Brtnický from Valdštejn acquired the estate. In 1662, they became the owners of Brtnica Collaltová.
 
 
The town was a fascinating visit for us. We visited the home where our 2nd-great-grandfather, Josef Fila, was born, #8. The house had a vast open courtyard with lots of old farm equipment and tools proudly displayed. There was also a storage barn for larger farm equipment from the past.

Once inside, our relative had many photos, documents and family heirlooms to show us. I was mesmerized by the old hand-painted tin license plate used for the town. Dale and I returned the following day to meet with our relative again to take more photos. As we left, he handed me one of his two license plates. I was so happy that he shared it with us so we could take it back to where Josef is buried. It is in my collection.
