Kostelní Radouň (German: Kirchen Radaun) is a municipality and village in Jindřichův Hradec District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The name Radouň is derived from the personal name Radoun (Radún), meaning "Radoun's village". The adjective kostelní, used to distinguish from places with the same name, means 'church'.[2]
Kostelní Radouň is located about 9km (06miles) northeast of Jindřichův Hradec and 47km (29miles) northeast of České Budějovice. It lies in the Křemešník Highlands. The highest point is at 619m (2,031feet) above sea level. The stream Radouňský potok flows through the municipality. There are several fishponds in the municipal territory.
The first written mention of Kostelní Radouň is from 1296. It was founded during the colonization of the region in the 13th century. Before 1672, it was part of the Kamenice estate. From 1672, the village belonged to the Nová Včelnice estate.[3]
