History

Already in the 13th century, there was a keep in Trmice. In the first half of the 17th century, it was rebuilt into a Baroque castle. The Old Castle was repaired in 1926, but it was demolished in 1965 due to considerable dilapidation.[2]

Between 1939 and 1993, Trmice was a borough of the Ústí nad Labem. Since 1 January 1994 it is a separate municipality again.[2]
