history

Manor Loga, 2011

In the eastern part of the village, on the left of the road to Milkwitz, there is the so-called “Logaer Schanze”, the remains of one of the largest Slavic fortifications in Upper Lusatia.

The Burgward Lagowe was first mentioned in a document in 1226. The settlement, which is laid out as a lane village , developed around the manor . It was first recorded under its current name in 1510. Until the 19th century, the place was under the rule of the manor resident here, which also owned shares in the neighboring towns.

Until April 1, 1936 Loga formed an independent rural community; then it was incorporated into Saritsch . Before the district reform in 1994, Loga was reclassified to Neschwitz on July 1, 1993.
