Textile manufacturing anchored Červený Kostelec's economy for more than a century. The town's mills processed cotton and produced finished fabrics, with several factory buildings from the industrial period still standing in the urban landscape. The industry declined after 1989, and the local economy has diversified toward services and small manufacturing.
Červený Kostelec has roughly 7,900 residents and sits in the Hradec Králové Region, at the edge of the Krkonoše foothills. The writer Karel Čapek had family connections to the area, and his brother Josef was born in nearby Hronov.
