Hrádek, Historical building in Heulos forest park, Jihlava, Czech Republic

Hrádek is a building organized around a U-shaped plan with three wings, two corner towers, and a spacious courtyard at its center facing north. It sits within Heulos forest park and serves as an accommodation and training facility.

Construction began on 11 April 1941 to a design by architect Fritz G. Winter, reportedly based on a sketch by Hitler himself. Planned as a youth hostel, it was converted in 1943 into the twelfth and last Hitlerjugend school, and on 6 January 1944 pupils moved into the first such school in Bohemia and Moravia, officially named the Adolf Hitler School Bohemia and Moravia. After 1945 it housed apprentices, then students, and in 1995 passed to the police school.

The building's axis is a local talking point: it lines up with the Gate of the Mother of God, the Neptune fountain and the town hall, so the wartime structure sits on the same sightline as Jihlava's older landmarks. Its official name was School of Adolf Hitler, Bohemia and Moravia, and it was the twelfth and last school of its kind.

The building currently functions as a training and accommodation facility and may not be freely accessible to visitors. It is best to check in advance about access conditions and whether tours are possible.

The terrace fountain is cut from Mrákotín granite by Czech stonemasons, and its first statue was found buried under the entrance threshold; it is now displayed in Prague. A second statue, said to depict the god Ódin, vanished with the departure of the last German troops.
