Around that, the Schönburgs erected in the 14th century a castle and the dominium "Sleten/Sletin" becomes a Bohemian crown fief in 1351. In the 15th century the abbots of the Grünhain monastery make the castle their secondary residence, rebuilting it into a palace around 1500. From the 16th century until 1796 it was used as a centre of hunting parties by the Dresden court and as seat of a Higer Master of Forestry and Hunting . A suit of manor houses are added in renaissance and baroque style.
