History

The first written mention of Trmice is from 1264. The greatest development of the settlement occurred during the rule of the Nostitz family. As a result of the development, Trmice was promoted to a market town in 1664. There was a Gothic-Renaissance fortress in Trmice, rebuilt into a Baroque castle in 1662 that served as a summer residence of the Nostitz family. This so-called Old Castle was repaired in 1926, but it was demolished in 1965 due to considerable dilapidation. From 1742, lignite was mined in the Trmice area. Between 1950 and 1993, Trmice was a municipal part of Ústí nad Labem. Since 1 January 1994, it has been again a separate municipality. In 1996, Trmice was promoted to a town.
