- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains documents of administration of the Liběšice Manor Estate, spreading out over the area of today’s districts of Litoměřice, Česká Lípa and Děčín. Until 1848, its administrative sphere of competence also included the Jewish community in Úštěk. Information about the real estate of Jews after 1848 is contained in the land registry on property holdings of Jews in Úštěk from 1796-1880 (inv. № 222).
- Archival history:
- After its confiscation in 1945, the documents of the manor estate where taken over into the Agricultural and Forestry Archive in Děčín. In 1968, after having been sorted, the fonds was handed over to the office of the State Regional Archives Litoměřice in Žitenice. Here, Liběšice archival records from collection F of the Archives of the National Museum in Prague (files, urbaria, land registries) were added to it. The inventory of the fonds was completed in 1969.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Liběšice Manor Estate was formed from two separate entities. The first was created around Úštěk Castle, the second around the fort in Liběšice. Both parts were held by the Jesuit Order from the 17th century. After dissolution of the order in 1773, the manor belonged to the religious fund. In 1838, it was purchased by Ferdinand of Lobkowitz. The Lobkowitz house sold it in 1871 to the industrialist Josef Schroll. After the first land reform, it became the property of the Krambichler family, from whom the estate was confiscated in 1945.

- System of arrangement:
- The fonds is structured into Official books, Files, Accounts, Maps and Plans. The oldest files date back to the Jesuit period. Their organisation reflects period storage in cupboards and pigeon holes. Pigeon hole № 25 holds the oldest files relating to the Jewish Community in Úštěk from the period of the 17th and 18th century. Files after 1850 are organised according to regional standards, according to handling from the end of the 19th century and according to years. Due to ownership changes, part of the files of the estate remained in the Jezuitica fonds in the National Archives in Prague and in fonds of central administration and the family archive of the Lobkowitz family from Roudnice.
