In the 15th century there was the fortress Píš Festany in the Elbe Valley, which Wilhelm von Ronow bequeathed to Zawisch von Klingstein in 1432. After several changes of ownership, the city of Leitmeritz bought the place and the festivals in 1543. After participating in the anti-Habsburg uprising, the city lost this property again in 1547 and Ulrich Dubanský von Duban was lord of Píšťany until 1558. After the repurchase by the city, Píš bliebany remained the municipal property of Leitmeritz until the end of patrimonial rule in 1850.
During the Thirty Years War the fortress was destroyed and completely disappeared, so that its location is no longer known today.
