The earliest references to the building date from 1348, during the reign of King Casimir the Great. At that time the castle was a royal property

Later the estate was divided into two parts, each being a residence of a different owner. History of the castle was an inspiration for some works of literature, most notably The Revenge, a comedy by Aleksander Fredro. Today we can see here relics of walls of the upper and lower castle, a portal and parts of the surrounding walls. Within the ruins there is also a museum displaying exhibits connected with the heyday of the castle, most notably portraits of Alexander Fredro and Anna Szeptycka, coats of arms, as well as a Gothic sward found in Zyndranowa.
