history
The first written mention of the place was in 1226 as the property of the Doksany Monastery . In 1262 the Church of St. Simon and Judah was built. Since 1324 the village belonged to the estates of the Porta Apostolorum monastery . Several ponds were created in the 15th century. On June 10, 1535 Ferdinand I gave Sebastian Krabitz zu Weitmühl the villages of Wischkowa , Brzwany and Leneschitz. In 1592 Johann Czernin von und zu Chudenitz acquired the Lenešice estate. His successor Georg Czernin von und zu Chudenitz had the castle built. The castle was repaired in 1698 under Johann von Clary and Aldringen . In 1767 the castle was rebuilt. An economic boom followed under Jakob Wimmer, who acquired the estate in 1788. He promoted fruit growing and the cultivation of clover . Wimmer also had the southern part of the village green redesigned and the ponds drained. In 1797 the church cemetery was closed. In 1802 the princes of Schwarzenberg acquired the estate.
After the abolition of patrimonial Lenešice / Leneschitz formed a political municipality in the Louny district from 1850 . The village was on the Czech-German language border. The Kaiserstraße to Postelberg was built in 1861, replacing the old road via Nový Dvůr. The two pheasantries in the castle park were among the largest in Bohemia in the 19th century. After the breeding of pheasants was no longer profitable, the facilities were reduced by half in the 1860s and completely closed in 1887. In 1872 the Prague-Dux Railway put the Brüx-Chlumčany line into operation, which was continued the following year to Prague and in 1885 to Vltava . In 1893 the larger of the two ponds on the village square was filled in and a school was built on it. In 1899 the community received a train station. The plans to build another railway from Komotau via Postelberg , Lenešice and Leitmeritz to Bohemian Leipa were not implemented. In 1904 the small village pond was also drained. The estate belonged to the Prince of Schwarzenberg until 1925. In 1925 and 1938 the pheasantries were cleared. The community protested against it, unsuccessfully, because the former pheasant gardens served as an excursion destination. Instead, 25 hectares of pasture land were reforested east of it at Chlum. After the Munich Agreement , Lenešice became a border town with the German Empire. In the 1960s, the large pond Lenešický rybník was flooded again. Between 1981 and 1990 Břvany was incorporated. On July 3, 2008, a week before the start of repair work, the steeple of the Simon and Judah Church, which is a protected cultural monument, collapsed and tore half of the nave with it.
