The first written mention of the locality called Einsiedler (Poustevna) is in a deed of King Wenceslaus I from 1241. The village with the same name was founded in this locality around 1280. For most of its history, Dolní Poustevna belonged to the Tolštejn estate.[2]

There are a railway border crossing and a road border crossing with Sebnitz in Germany.
