Since the 13th century, Biała has been the seat of a castellany. The current brick castle was built in the Renaissance style, probably on the initiative of the Opole line of the Piast dynasty before 1532. It originally had two single-bay wings - the current eastern and southern - which encompassed a small courtyard and had semicircular arcades on this side.

Since 1564, it belonged to the Prószkowskis, first as a pledge, and from 1606 as their property. Around 1640, the Prószkowskis expanded the complex in the Baroque style, adding a new two-bay wing on the west, on the corner of which a tower was built. It has survived in this form only after renovation.

In 1747, the widow of Antoni Prószkowski sold the castle and estates to Bartłomiej Oderfeld, and after nine years it ended up in the hands of Rudolf Matuschka from Bohemia. The next owner from 1841 was Ferdinand Rudolf von Gersdorff.
In 1872 the castle became the property of the city and from 1878 for the next half-century it was intended for educational purposes, housing a teachers' seminary. In the 19th century, during renovation, the arcades were bricked up, creating an additional communication route along the 16th-century wings.
After World War II, the buildings were used as warehouses for the Moda Polska company, and since the end of the 20th century it has not been used.

Unfortunately, it is falling into ruin.
