The villages of Bohdašín, Horní Kostelec, Lhota za Červeným Kostelcem, Mstětín, Olešnice and Stolín are administrative parts of Červený Kostelec.
Etymologyedit
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.[2]
Geographyedit
Červený Kostelec is located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northwest of Náchod and 34 km (21 mi) 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 530 m (1,740 ft) above sea level.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Kostelec is from 1362. Until 1447, it was a part of the 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 market town no later than from 1680.[3] In 1876, Kostelec was promoted to a town and changed its name to Červený Kostelec.[4]
Červený Kostelec lies on the interregional railway line Prague–Trutnov and on the line from Hradec Králové to Svoboda nad Úpou.[7]
Cultureedit
Church of Saint James the Great
Since 1952, the town hosts the Červený Kostelec International Folklore Festival.[8]

The most notable building is the Church of Saint James the Great. It was originally a Gothic building from the 14th century, destroyed by fire in 1591. It was renewed in 1668 and rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1744–1754 based on plans of architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.[9]
