The area of ​​Loslau initially belonged to the Duchy of Ratibor, which was ruled by the Silesian Piasts until 1326 and then came to the Přemyslid Duchy of Opava . When it was divided in 1377 it fell to its Jägerndorfer line. In 1437 it was separated from Ratibor and belonged to the Duchy of Rybnik until 1464 , from which it was spun off that year for the Jägerndorfer Duke Johann IV , who in 1474 had to cede Jägerndorf to the opposing king Matthias Corvinus and died in Loslau in 1483. Johann IV. Widow dubbed among other things as mistress of Loslau .

After the reversion of Bohemia in 1483 the rule Loslau 1515 acquired the status of a minority-caste domination ( status minor ). The Bohemian King Vladislav II transferred this to his Colonel Chancellor Johann von Schellenberg († 1508) in 1502 . His son, the governor of Lower Lusatia , Georg von Schellenberg , sold the Loslau estate to Balthasar von Wilczek . In 1528 it came to the Planknar, 1602 to the Plawecki, 1668–1684 to Jerzy Szelepcsĕnyi, then again by reversion to the Crown of Bohemia . From 1696 to 1773 it was owned by Dietrichstein . In the 19th century it belonged to Count Strachwitz .
