It has about 400 inhabitants.
Administrative division
Netín consists of two municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
- Netín (322)
- Záseka (26)
Etymology
The initial name of the village was Vznětín. The name was probably derived from the personal name Vznata, referring to one of the nobles of this name from the Meziříčský of Lomnice family.
Geography
Netín is located about 16 km south of Žďár nad Sázavou and 26 km east of Jihlava. It lies in the Křižanov Highlands. The highest point is the hill Strážnice at 609 m above sea level. The municipal territory is rich in small streams and fishponds. The largest of the fishponds is Velký netínský rybník with an area of 36.4 ha.
History
The first written mention of Netín is in a forgery from the end of the 12th century, which states the year 1156. The village was the property of the Benedictine monastery in Třebíč at that time. In the second half of the 15th century, large fishponds were built around the village by Jan Meziříčský of Lomnice. From 1556, Netín belonged to the Stránecká Zhoř estate. In 1729, Netín and Stránecká Zhoř were annexed to the Velké Meziříčí estate. In 1882, the village was damaged by a large fire, which destroyed 37 houses and a school.

The main landmark of Netín is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was built in the Gothic style in the 13th century, but it has a Romanesque core. In the 15th century, it was fortified. In 1739–1740, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style. On a hill above the church is the tomb of the Lobkowicz family. The road from the church to the tomb is lined with the Stations of the Cross.
