Wilhelm Kurzbach was the builder of the second present tower in 1560. It is a four-sided, four-storey residential and defensive structure. The Kurzbach family owned the castle until 1592, when it was sold to Adam Schaffgotsch. At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle was twice destroyed by fires. The rebuilt and strongly fortified castle successfully repelled the attacks of the Swedish army for two years. He was captured in 1642 and served the Swedes for the next 8 years as a base for Silesia. From the mid-seventeenth century to the end of World War II, the owners were the von Hattzfeld family. At that time, the castle was rebuilt into a magnificent baroque palace in the years 1655-1657. Medieval buildings were removed and only the tower standing today is preserved.
