The Czorsztyn Castle stands at the top of the hill nearby Dunajec.

[1] However that theory was never after confirmed by other historians, so the beginnings of castle functioning are dated on 14th century.

Large development of the castle took place during the reign of Casimir III the Great.

In years 1629–1643, when Jan Baranowski was a starosta of Czorsztyn, the castle was fundamentally rebuilt.

In 1651 the Castle was captured by the Goral rebels of the Kostka Napierski Uprising.
