History[edit]

The first written mention of Dlouhá Lhota is from 1383. It belonged to the Březno estate and shared its owners and destiny. Until 1416, the estate was owned by the Wartenberg family, then it was sold to Jindřich Waldstein, who soon sold it to lower nobleman Jan Lapáček. After it changed hands twice in the 15th century, it was acquired by Jindřich Hložek of Žampach. He died in 1543 and a year later, the estate was inherited by the Bubna of Litice family. They owned the estate until 1749.[2]
