Castle construction started in the late 16th century. In the 16th
century the castle belonged to King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland. A new castle was built on
the ruins of the old one by a German knight, Krispin Kirschenstein.

century by the Olendzki family), and today is an example of 19th century neo-Gothic
architecture.
