In 1536 Leeskow was first mentioned as a property of the von Muschelwitz family . The Muschelwitz family also owned Petershain, a place near Neupetershain and Leuthen, part of today's Drebkau municipality . In 1691 Hans Caspar the Younger von Muschwitz sold the village to Christoph Heinrich von Lambo for 3,100 Thaler. He sold it in 1697 to Lieutenant Colonel Georg Sigismund von Reiswitz for 5250 Thaler. His widow sold the Leeskow estate in 1722 for 10,200 thaler to Christian Ernst von Knoch. After Knoch's death on January 4, 1756 in nearby Pritzen , his son Otto Ernst von Knoch inherited Leeskow. After Knoch died on November 30, 1787, the son of his sister Christian Friedrich von Rex inherited it . He died childless on August 27, 1802. His heiress and widow Johanna Elisabeth von Waltersdorf married Count Friedrich von Beust , who died on December 4, 1821.
