Stanisław Sieciński began the castle in 1580, and his son Marcin Krasicki completed it. The infobox says 1631 and the text says 1633, and the text's 53 years matches 1633. Italian architects oversaw it, and Galleazzo Appiani supervised its conversion into a residence. The infobox calls the style Polish Mannerism, while the text says Renaissance. It is square, with four oval corner towers, and sgraffito covers about 7,000 square meters of wall. The article gives no building materials.
A fire on May 3, 1852 destroyed most of the complex except the chapel. Red Army troops were stationed there from October 1939 to June 1941 and destroyed most of the interior.
The Industrial Development Agency owns it. A hotel operates in a side wing, and tours run. It became a Historic Monument of Poland on April 20, 2018.
