There is also a fishpond right in the centre of Třemošnice, which is supplied by a nameless tributary of the Zlatý potok.

Sights
[edit]
The late Baroque Třemošnice Castle is privately owned and its interiors were converted into apartments.[8]
A technical and cultural monument is the Berlova lime factory. It was built around 1880. The area is valuable for its authenticity and the degree of preservation of the entire technological system of furnaces, including the unique charging device. There are plans to turn the unused building into an information centre and industrial museum.[9]
In Podhradí on the hill Světlice is a ruin of the Lichnice Castle. This early Gothic castle was founded in the first half of the 13th century and was conquered during the Hussite Wars in 1428. In 1490, it was completely rebuilt by the Trčka of Lípa family. The 1610 fire damaged the castle and it was only provisionally repaired during the Thirty Years' War. From the beginning of the 18th century, the castle fell into disrepair and was dismantled as a source of building material.[10]
