In the 11th century, on the site of today's castle there was a wooden and earthen stronghold with a chamber structure, which was built during the reign of Bolesław the Brave or Władysław Herman. This stronghold was the main administrative centre of the Duchy of Czersk. In 1224, the sources mention Piotr Pilch, the castellan of Czersk. On 27 April 1245, the Bishop of Poznań Bogufał II, in the presence of Konrad II and his sons, consecrated the wooden church of St. Peter built in the courtyard. In 1229, Duke Konrad of Mazovia imprisoned Duke Henry the Bearded in the stronghold. He released him the same year after the intervention of Duchess Jadwiga, who arrived from Silesia, and after Henry agreed to waive his claims to Lesser Poland. In 1239, Konrad imprisoned Bolesław the Chaste in the stronghold. Before 1406, a small brick collegiate church of St. Peter with exquisite decoration. From 1350 comes a mention in a document of Duke Casimir I Trojdenowicz about the obligation of bishops' villages to build izbicas on the Czersk stronghold damaged during the Lithuanian invasion. In the 14th century, Duke Janusz I of Mazovia ordered a brick castle to be built in place of the outdated stronghold, which was built in the years 1388–1410. It was one of the most important residences of Duke Janusz I, who died in this castle on December 8, 1429.
