history
Landsberg Castle was built in the first half of the 13th century on royal land between the Silent Eagle and the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands . It was mentioned for the first time in 1285 in a document from the Bohemian King Wenceslaus II and was the seat of the Landsberg rule, which was owned by the Cistercian monastery Königsaal , for whose endowment it was intended. The city of Landskron , three market towns and 43 other settlements belonged to the domain . After nobles from Sandbach and Geiersberg tried to take possession of the area, it was first leased by the monastery and in 1358 ceded to the diocese of Leitomischl in exchange . The castle now served as the seat of the episcopal captain.
In 1425 and 1429 the castle was conquered by the East Bohemian Hussites . In the 16th century the rule was owned by the Lords of Pernstein , but they no longer lived in the castle. It is described as desert in 1622 and then served as a quarry. The village of Landsberg, northeast of the ruins, has been traceable since the 16th century.
