history

The place Lužany was first mentioned in 1175. In 1245 Imram z Lužan became the owner of the place, whose descendants ruled until the 14th century. However, the property fell apart due to inheritance divisions. After a few changes of ownership, Lužany came to the Příchovice on Skočice in the 15th century, who had the fortress converted into a Renaissance chateau in 1583. From 1603 Lužany belonged to Skočice. At the time of the berní rula , the village largely belonged to the imperial councilor and captain of the Pilsen region, Karel František Příchovský; the Roupov reign held a small stake. Johann Wilhelm Příchovský sold the manor in 1721 to his brother-in-law Klink von Engelfluss. In the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, the landlords changed frequently, including the Trautmannsdorff , Kinský , Pentenrieder von Adelshausen and Vršovec. A Jewish community developed in the village. In 1808 Friedrich Karl Graf von Schönborn Luschan acquired and united it with Dolní Lukavice . In 1809 the Ararian road from Pilsen to Klattau was built. The cholera epidemic of 1831 claimed 31 lives in Luschan. The villages of Skočice, Dlouhá Louka, Zelená Hora, Zelené, as well as parts of Vlčí and Nová Ves belonged to the allodial estate Lužany, created in 1848 . In the middle of the 19th century there was a molasses factory , a brandy distillery, a mill and a brewery in Luschan . In 1850 Countess Kinský bought the property for 300,000 guilders. With the replacement of patrimonial Luschan became an independent community in the same year.

In 1867 Josef Hlávka bought the castle from the Prague manufacturer Franz von Ringhoffer and rebuilt it in the neo-renaissance style between 1886 and 1888. On November 14th, 1877 the first train drove from Markt Eisenstein to Pilsen and the village received the Luschan railway station in Bohemia . In 1889 there were 564 people in Luschan, Langwiesen had 193 inhabitants, in Grün there were 178 and in Grünberg 32. On May 16, 1889, Luschan was hit by a severe flood that drowned a total of 50 people in the area. In 1890 the manorial sugar factory was shut down. In 1912 a distillery was founded. At the end of the 19th century, the Jewish community went out and the synagogue was demolished in 1946.
