The town, located at a ford over the Katzbach on the road from Breslau to Glogau, dates back to the founding of the Liegnitz paladin Iko Mironowic in 1259. From around 1400, the town was owned by the von Zedlitz family for around 200 years. According to family tradition, Otto von Zedlitz had the previous wooden moated castle replaced by a stone building (the High House) around 1422, which, together with the tower and the northern wing of the building, forms the core of today's complex. From the 1540s, the castle was expanded into a palace.

From 1562 Field Marshal Hans von Oppersdorff and Fabian von Schönaich were the owners. He had the east wing and the south gate expanded. After 1594 Parchwitz was a secondary residence of the Dukes of Legnica.

In the Thirty Years' War the castle was severely damaged in 1642 and restored from 1658 under Duchess Anna Sophia von Liegnitz. After the line of dukes had ended, the castle fell to the emperor in 1675 and became the seat of a sovereign domain. After 1820 the castle was privately owned again. Count Erdmann Sylvius von Pückler had a landscape park created in 1835. In the possession of Count Kurt von Strachwitz, the castle was renovated from 1905.

At the end of the Second World War the castle was damaged and later rebuilt. From 1990 the castle was privately owned and fell into disrepair. The castle was only restored after a change of ownership.
