In the 14th century, there was a stronghold on the castle hill, which was moved and construction began on the castle in Pułtusk, which became the seat of the bishops of Płock. The first castle buildings were wooden, at the beginning of the 15th century, brick buildings began to be built, probably after the destruction during the Lithuanian invasions. The most important expansion took place in the 6th century, when the castle was given the character of a Renaissance residence. The bishop's castle was modernized and decorated by artists, but it was destroyed during the Swedish Deluge. The castle was rebuilt at the end of the 17th century, the north-west wing was added. At that time, the castle acquired its current shape of a horseshoe - several connected buildings around the courtyard. An arcaded bridge and a gate building lead to the castle.

The castle was devastated during the Napoleonic Wars, and suffered the greatest damage in 1945. Rebuilt after the war, later rebuilt for hotel purposes as the House of Polonia. Being in Pułtusk at the castle, we will definitely come across a huge and long Market Square - at one end the castle, at the other the Collegiate Basilica of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is worth walking through the old streets, visiting several old churches, and all of this is basically within the old town, on an island surrounded by branches of the Narew River.
