The castle was erected at the beginning of the 14th century, probably in 1323, when Henry V the Fat renounced the rights to this part of the Duchy of Wrocław and Bierutów was taken over by the dukes of Głogów and Oleśnica. Previously, there was a wooden and earth stronghold in this place, probably founded in the 13th century by Henry III or Henry IV Probus.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the Bierutów castle passed into the possession of the Poděbradczyków family, who until 1534 transformed the austere Gothic stronghold into a Renaissance residence with an arcaded courtyard, later introducing Baroque elements. The next owners were the Schindles. The castle suffered several times and was modernized. Among other things, in 1603 it suffered a fire together with the town and was rebuilt around 1620, then the tower was raised, and soon after it did not resist damage during the Thirty Years' War. After Schindlach, the castle passed into the hands of Kristian Ulryk Wirtenberg, who cared very much about his estate. On his initiative, at the end of the 17th century, a gate was erected, the buildings were raised by one floor and gardens were established outside the castle walls. Despite this, in the 18th century it began to deteriorate, and this condition was deepened in the 19th century. In 1886-1887 the eastern wing was so ruined that it was demolished.
After the Second World War, which dealt with the remains quite graciously, offices found their place in the castle, from which the forestry inspectorate operates to this day.
The tower from the times of the Poděbrady people, which was added in the early 17th century, has been preserved very well from the castle, square at the bottom and octagonal at the top. Currently, it stands alone, included in a series of perimeter walls, but once it was in one block with the eastern wing of the castle. In addition to the tower, there is also an entrance gate and one of the castle buildings with a decorative portal with the coat of arms of the Poděbrady family. The building has a room with stucco decoration on the second floor.
