history
The first mention of Lezchow comes from the year 1257. Since 1262 the place can be traced as the parish seat. The Church of St. Prokop was acquired in 1740 and 1780.
Until the death of Count Johann Friedrich von Schwanberg in 1659, the town was owned by the Schwanbergers , whose coat of arms - the swan - is still the municipal coat of arms today. The next owners were the Counts of Heisenstein, in 1712 Maximilian Karl acquired Prince zu Löwenstein on Weseritz Leskau.
Leskau had a weekly market since 1506. In 1508 the place was granted freedom of trade and privileges for self-administration and jurisdiction. In 1524 the right to boil and in 1527 the permission for two annual markets were added. In the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, Leskau lost more and more importance, the cause was on the one hand in the proximity to the up-and-coming town of Plan . The establishment of the Konstantinsbad spa in 1874 also led to further stagnation and Leskau, halfway between the two towns, was not connected to the new important means of transport, the railroad.
After the abolition of patrimonial Leskau came to the district of Plan. In the following period the affiliation changed several times between the political districts Weseritz, Tepl and finally Marienbad.
After the First World War , Leskau was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement , Leskau belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Tepl , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland .

Attractions
St. Prokop Church
The Church of St. Prokop, which shapes the image of the place, was in ruins for decades and has recently been repaired. It already existed in 1375. At that time it was under the patronage of the Schwanberger and Johann von Schwanberg exercised the office of pastor. During the Thirty Years' War the building was in serious disrepair and in 1647 the pastor Kaspar Haas had parts of the church demolished. In the period from 1739 to 1740 the church was rebuilt and in 1780 construction work was carried out again. The church received its baroque appearance.
During the communist rule, the church fell into disrepair. In a storm in 1972, the tower cross fell from the church tower. In October 1993 the roof of the nave collapsed and fell into the interior of the church. Security measures are currently being carried out on the ruins to prevent further deterioration.
The furnishings from the period from 1720 to 1730 are now partly in the church in Domaslav, other pieces are stored in Pilsen in the bishopric.
The church was previously surrounded by a cemetery, which was closed in 1683 with the creation of the new cemetery at the now demolished chapel of John the Baptist. During the construction work carried out on the church in 1780, it was lifted and some of the graves were reburied in the New Cemetery.

It was built in 1876 instead of a previous building from 1679 for 16,400 guilders and served as the local school until 1999. After the school was closed, the building was converted into a municipal office.
