Třemošnice (pronounced as /cs/) is a town in Chrudim District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,300 inhabitants.
The villages of Hedvikov, Kubíkovy Duby, Lhůty, Podhradí, Skoranov, Starý Dvůr and Závratec are administrative parts of Třemošnice.
The name Třemošnice evolved from the word střemcha, i.e. 'bird cherry'.[2]
Třemošnice is located about southwest of Chrudim and 22km (14miles) southwest of Pardubice. It lies on the border between the Iron Mountains and Central Elbe Table. The highest point is the mountain Bučina at 606m (1,988feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Třemošnice is from 1564. A fortress was built in 1610, which was rebuilt into a small castle in 1750. In 1816, an ironworks was established, which led to an increase in the population. In 1882, the railway was built.[3]
Třemošnice is the starting point of the railway line to Čáslav.[4]
Třemošnice is poor in monuments. The late Baroque Třemošnice Castle is privately owned and its interiors were converted into apartments.[5]
