The castle was initially built for administrative purposes under the Piast dynasty, with a defensive role that was more symbolic than actual. The castle suffered significant damage during the 17th century wars, including the Potop and the conflict between August II Mocny and Stanisław Leszczyński.

The lower castle in Kazimierz Dolny was built in the mid-14th century on the initiative of Casimir the Great as a Gothic structure. Built of local limestone, it was originally an oval in shape surrounded by massive perimeter walls. It mainly served an administrative function and supported the development of trade on the Vistula. In the 15th century, expanded by the Grot family, it gained new residential wings, a tower and a moat. In the 16th century, during the Firlejs' times, the castle was rebuilt in the Renaissance style according to the design of Santi Gucci, adding, among other things, attics. Destroyed by the Swedes and Rákóczi's troops in the 17th century, it eventually fell into ruin. In the 18th century, there were plans to rebuild it in the palace style, but this did not happen. In the 19th century, it was the site of uprisings, and in the 20th century it was secured as a permanent ruin and opened to the public.
