Červený Hrádek Castle (German: Rothenhaus Castle) is located about a kilometer and a half north of the center of Jirkov (Görkau) in the Chomutov district in the Ústí region, on a hill on the southern slope of the Ore Mountains in the Czech Republic. The castle is a listed building and is open to the public. The village of the same name, Červený Hrádek, lies to the east below the castle.

The Komotow Castle

The Komotow Castle

excerpts from castles and palaces in the Ore Mountains
and Egertales by Viktor Karell + from the Erzgebirge newspaper, year 1885

The oldest owner of Komotau, who is mentioned in history, is Friedrich von Chomutav, who donated the city to the Teutonic Knights on March 29, 1252. In 1264 he built his castle here, which later became the town hall. Among the Deutherrenritter, Komotau became the most famous command of their order. They were also the ones who built St. Catherine's Church in 1264. Already under King Ottokar II, the order was given neck jurisdiction and quickly completed the acquisition of the surrounding estates in the period that followed. In the 14th century he bought a few more villages from the Postelberg monastery and Priesner estates.
Three building stages characterize the castle. The first at the time the castle was founded in the 13th century, the second after the Hussite invasion of the Waldenburgs, the third is under Benesch von Weitmühl. The Catherine Church is included in the castle.
The influence and wealth of the Order was at its peak at this time. However, the order soon ran into debts, which in 1402 reached 900 shocks and 374 guilders. The strict order had given way to a lavish life. The Commander at the time, Johann von Egerberg, therefore lost his office. His successors weren't very lucky either. All other goods of the order were pledged and the power of the Teutonic Knights in our country was gone.

Let yourself be welcomed in Chomutov, actually Komotau, as the city was called for almost 700 years. ... Not far from there is a new well.
