[3][4] In 1672 the castle was captured by the Turks,[1][2] and in 1675 it was garrisoned by the crew of King John III Sobieski of Poland.

It was built of stone and brick on an irregular quadrilateral plan, forming a defensive perimeter with walls and four hexagonal towers at the corners.

[2] During construction on the steepest eastern side of the hill, the structure was reinforced with a retaining wall of hewn sandstone.

[1] The entrance to the castle, from the northern flat part of the plateau, separated by a crosscut of a dry moat and a rampart, led through a gate tower to a spacious courtyard.

[citation needed] Before 1831, Cyryl Czarkowski [pl] son of Tadeusz tore down the defensive walls with the gate, buried the ditch to the north and began rebuilding the castle into a palace, located between the two towers of the southeast and southwest.

His wife, Maria (née Golejewska), in view of the childlessness of their marriage, gave the estate including the castle to an adopted relative, Tadeusz Czarkowski (1850-1940), who conditionally assumed her maiden name.

[7] In May 1891 Tadeusz's family settled there, his wife Maria (daughter of Filip Zaleski) and sons Cyryl and Wiktor.
