The bastion is the only remaining part of the old castle from the 13th century.

The defensive residential tower, known as the bastion, is the oldest surviving complete structure of the palace-park complex, built in 1560 by the Kurzbach family as commemorated by their coat of arms carved in sandstone above the entrance.

The tower was raised by one floor by Swedish forces in 1642 during the Thirty Years' War and was named Sankt Maria Trauburg in 1668, with a steel signature featuring St. Mary and the Christ child symbolizing protection against Turkish invasion threats.

After renovations in 2008, the tower now serves multiple purposes including a tourist information center, conference hall, exhibition space, hotel apartment, and viewing terrace, while historically it housed one of Silesia's largest private document archives until 1945.
