Třebenice (German: Trebnitz) is a town in Litoměřice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,900 inhabitants.
The villages of Kocourov, Kololeč, Lhota, Lipá, Medvědice, Mrsklesy, Sutom and Teplá are administrative parts of Třebenice. Kocourov, Lhota, Lipá, Medvědice and Mrsklesy form an exclave of the municipal territory.
Třebenice is located about 12km (07miles) southwest of Litoměřice and 21km (13miles) south of Ústí nad Labem. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Central Bohemian Uplands, but the southern part with the town proper lies in the Lower Ohře Table. The highest point is the mountain Lipská hora at 689m (2,260feet) above sea level.
The area around the town is known as a deposit of red pyropes, known under the brand name "Czech Garnet".[2]
The first written mention of Račice is from 1227. Thanks to the convenient location of the town, the inhabitants made a living from agriculture and later from viticulture and fruit growing. The first Czech fruit processing factory used to operate here.[2]
Třebenice is located on the railway line Most–Litoměřice.
The main landmark of the town centre is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. It was built in the Gothic-Renaissance style in 1551–1601. It was modified after the fire in 1669.[3]
A cultural monument is the former Evangelical church. It was built in 1901. Since 1984, the museum of Czech Garnet has been located there.[4]
