history
It was first mentioned in writing in 1402. The ruins of the Castel Sant'Angelo, built at the turn of the 14th to the 15th century, are on a hill belonging to the village . At the beginning of the 17th century it was owned by the Barons Colonna von Fels and destroyed by the Swedes during the Thirty Years War. The main place of the rule was later moved to Gießhübel .
Lord of the castle Heinrich III. von Plauen , commissioned the builder Erhart Bauer, who was in the service of the town of Eger, to build a new parish church below Engelhaus Castle. This was consecrated in 1490. The parish also included Engelhaus, Espenthor, Stichelmühle and, at times, Sollmus, Gießhübel, Neudörfl and Schönau.
In front of the gates of Engelhaus there was a St. Wooden chapel dedicated to the Virgin, first mentioned in writing in 1393. Next to the church by the old linden tree was a miraculous healing spring to which pilgrimages took place. Count Hermann Jakob Czernin von Chudenitz had today's baroque chapel of the Holy Trinity built from 1696 to 1712 . Since the beginning of the 19th century it was Engelhaus's burial church.
In 1831 there were reports of 80 craftsmen who lived in the village, as well as three musicians who played to entertain the guests in Karlovy Vary . In 1847 Engelhaus had 136 houses with 830 inhabitants, 4 of them Protestant families. Until the repeal of patromnial jurisdiction in 1848/49, the place belonged to the Gießhübl rule in the Elbogen district ( Loket ). After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Karlsbad in the Reichsgau Sudetenland , administrative district of Eger .
After the expulsion of the German-speaking population after 1945, the place is now inhabited by 191 residents. Most of them work in agriculture. Since 1957 the place belonged to Karlovy Vary, since 1989 Andělská Hora is again an independent place. There is currently a lot of construction activity, many Karlovy Vary and also Russians are building their houses in the country.
