Even before the Thirty Years' War, the Zehista manor was converted into a castle. Zehista, located south of Pirna, was first mentioned as a manor farm in 1458 and as a stately manor in 1551. During the siege of Pirna in this war, the castle temporarily housed the headquarters of the Swedish Field Marshal Johan Banér in 1639. In 1651, it came into the possession of Banér's former adversary, the Pirna fortress commander Johann Siegmund von Liebenau.

In 1735, Johann Adolph von Brühl, a brother of Heinrich Count von Brühl, purchased the property. The construction of the remarkable house church in 1742 also dates from his time. The last owners of the castle were the noble von Rex family, who owned it from 1820 until their expropriation as part of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945.

The castle is being restored and has a rustic castle park that can be explored.

The castle had been empty since 1995. In 2011, a private investor began renovating the main building. This work was largely completed in December 2014. The castle is now used for residential purposes (9 apartments).
