The castle with a mill was built on an island by Duke Bogusław and Elżbieta, the daughter of Casimir the Great in the second half of the 14th century. As the building was very presentable, in 1372, it hosted the convention of Pomeranian Dukes – Bolesław’s brothers and cousins. The castle has maintained its general appearance until now.
In 15th century, the castle was extended and modernised by Eric of Pomerania – the king of Denmark, Sweden and Norway who was born in the castle.
He was called the last Viking of the Baltic Sea because dethronement in Scandinavia he became a pirate. At the end of his life, bitter and old, yet combative he returned to his inherited estate.
