'''Červený Kostelec''' ({{IPA-cs|ˈtʃɛrvɛniː ˈkostɛlɛts}}; {{lang-de|Rothkosteletz}}) is a town in the [[Náchod District]] in the [[Hradec Králové Region]] of the [[Czech Republic]]. It has around 8,400 inhabitants.
'''Červený Kostelec''' ({{IPA|cs|ˈtʃɛrvɛniː ˈkostɛlɛts}}; {{langx|de|Rothkosteletz}}) is a town in [[Náchod District]] in the [[Hradec Králové Region]] of the [[Czech Republic]]. It has about 8,300 inhabitants.

The town's church is now painted red, representing the fire, which engulfed it in the 16th century, and gave the town its name, ''červený'' meaning red. On the south is an old quarry that had been turned into an army shooting range. The large forest of Žďár envelops the southern part of the town.

==Etymology==
The word ''kostelec'' is derived from ''kostel'' (i.e. 'church') and meant "fortified church". To distinguish it from other municipalities with the same name, the adjective ''červený'' (i.e. 'red') was added in 1876. It referred to the red [[Permian]] formation that was uncovered here, and to the coloring of the local stream, which occurred during floods.<ref>{{cite book |last=Profous|first=Antonín|title=Místní jména v Čechách I: A–H|url=https://mjc.ujc.cas.cz/search.php|page=322|year=1947|language=cs}}</ref>

==Geography==
Červený Kostelec is located about {{convert|8|km|0}} northwest of [[Náchod]] and {{convert|34|km|abbr=on}} northeast of [[Hradec Králové]]. It lies on the border between the [[Giant Mountains Foothills]] and [[Orlické Foothills]]. The highest point is the hill Končinský kopec at {{convert|530|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level.

==History==
The first written mention of Kostelec is from 1362. Until 1447, it was a part of the [[Havlovice|Vízmburk]] estate. From 1497 at the latest, it belonged to the [[Náchod]] estate. It remained so until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848. The preserved seal proves that Kostelec was referred to as a [[Městys|market town]] no later than from 1680.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historie města č. 1: Založení Kostelce|url=https://www.cervenykostelec.cz/historie-a-soucasnost/zalozeni-mesta|publisher=Město Červený Kostelec|language=cs|access-date=2024-03-04}}</ref> In 1876, Kostelec was promoted to a town and changed its name to Červený Kostelec.<ref>{{cite web |title=O městě|url=https://www.cervenykostelec.cz/o-meste|publisher=Město Červený Kostelec|language=cs|access-date=2024-03-04}}</ref>
