history
Lesne Castle was on the Zangenberg, about 1.5 kilometers southeast of Marklissa. Your castle district comprised the western part of the Queiskreis. It was probably built to protect the Bohemian border against Silesia and was first mentioned in 1247. At that time, the Bohemian King Wenzel I gave it to the Meissen Bishop Konrad I von Wallhausen . During the reign of Askanier about the Oberlausitz, the castle was the Altmark Gender pledged that of Irksleben.
Presumably after the construction of Czocha Castle , which was built further east before 1319, Lesne Castle lost its strategic importance. In 1329 it was mentioned together with the castles Tzschocha and Schwerta as "Lesna oppidum forense". Presumably it was left to decay afterwards, but lived on in legends. Its importance and its castle district were transferred to the city of Lissa, which was founded in the middle of the 13th century ( Mark of lissa was only documented in 1574).
