[edit]

The earliest signs of settlement in the area come from the neolithic period. Between the 7th and 9th Centuries, there appeared to exist a village, a gord and other traces of the Golensizi tribe. The tribe abandoned the gord around 874-855.[2]

Lubomia was first mentioned in 1303, was owned by the Reiswitz Noble Family from 1572 onwards, then got sold to Prince Karl Franz Leopold Bernhard Lichnowsky in 1730.
