It was located on the site of an old stronghold, founded by the duke of Dobrzyn, Ladislaus the hump-backed.

In 1405 Wladyslaw Jagiello purchased Dobrzyn and Bobrowniki, but four years later the Teutonic Knights attacked the castle. With the help of a treason of the defending commander Bobrowniki castle went back into Teutonic hands only to be returned in 1411 back to the Polish. It's border location has once again become the cause of many investments in the modernisation of the facility. However, it no longer played any military role wars to come. During the Thirteen Years' War the castle served as a prison for captured knights of the Teutonic Order. Change of the national border ultimately deprived the building of any strategic role. In the seventeenth century it was already devastated to the point of abandoning by the local government. During the war with Sweden, in the second half of the eighteenth century, the property was almost completely destroyed. In the nineteenth century it was formally decided to demolish the castle. The ruins do not have a host to this day.
