Jirkov

Jirkov lies along the Bílina River, where the Most Basin rises toward the lower slopes of the Ore Mountains. Immediately northeast of Chomutov, it belongs to an urban area shaped by industry while forested uplands begin close to its northern edge. Jirkov has been documented since the 14th century, and the Church of St Giles remains a focal point of its historic centre. The Červený Hrádek castle complex on the town’s northern outskirts adds a reminder of the area’s aristocratic past.
