'''Vojnův Městec''' is a market town in [[Žďár nad Sázavou District]] in the [[Vysočina Region]] of the [[Czech Republic]]. It has about 800 inhabitants.
==Administrative parts==
The hamlet of Nová Huť is an administrative part of Vojnův Městec.
==Etymology==
The name literally means "Vojna's small town".
==Geography==
Vojnův Městec is located about {{convert|13|km|0}} northeast of [[Žďár nad Sázavou]] and {{convert|37|km|abbr=on}} northeast of [[Jihlava]]. The municipal territory extends into three geomorphological regions: the northwestern part lies in the [[Iron Mountains (Czech Republic)|Iron Mountains]], the southwestern part lies in the [[Upper Sázava Hills]] and the eastern part lies in the [[Upper Svratka Highlands]]. The highest point is at {{convert|795|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level.
The Městecký Brook flows through the market town. The upper course of the [[Sázava (river)|Sázava]] River flows through the woods in the eastern part of the territory. There is the Malé Dářko fish pond in the municipal territory; [[Velké Dářko]], the largest pond in the Vysočina Region, is located just beyond the southern municipal border. The Radostínské rašeliniště National Nature Reserve is located between these two ponds. The whole territory of Vojnův Městec lies within the [[Žďárské vrchy]] Protected Landscape Area.
==History==
THe first written mention of Vojnův Městec (originally named Jindřichova Ves) is in a deed of the monastery in [[Žďár nad Sázavou]] from 1293. The monastery probably founded the village. Around 1357, when it was called Münprech, the village was acquired by the Vojna of Štětí noble family and promoted to a [[Městys|market town]]. In the 1430s, the market town began to be called Vojnův Městec after the last member of the Vojna family, Jan Vojna.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historie|url=https://www.vojnuvmestec.cz/mestys/historie-mestys-vojnuv-mestec/historie-mestys-vojnuv-mestec|publisher=Městys Vojnův Městec|language=cs|access-date=2023-09-16}}</ref>
