History
The castle was first mentioned in 13th century when it was bough by Kraków bishop Prandota. In 1295 the castle belonged to bishop Jan Muskata. In his times the original foundation was significantly developed. The first stone structures were built.
The castle acquired its present shape after the development in the 15th century by Wojciech Jastrzębiec (1412-1423) and Zbigniew Oleśnicki (1423-1451). Since late 15th century the castle was used as a prison for church
The decline of the castle dates to the fire of 1629, and Swedish deluge when it was burned again in 1655/1657.
In 1789 after the death of Kraków Bishop Kajetan Sołtyk and after the partition of Poland the castle belonged to Emperor Joseph II. In 1800 fire destroyed most of the buildings. Since then the castle stayed inhabited. During the January Uprising 1863 the troops of general Marian Langiewicz sheltered in the castle.
