In 1939, the von Korffs, an old Baltic noble family, lived in this castle.
After the collapse of the Livonian Confederation, Krustpils Castle became the property of the Polish king. At the beginning of the Livonian War, Krustpils Castle and the castle settlement were captured and destroyed twice, in 1559 and 1577, by the troops of the Russian Tsar Ivan IV. In the Jama Zapolska Peace Treaty of 1582, it was designated as the citadel of the Krustpils parish (Latin: arx Krutzborc, Круцборг).
