The creation of the castle in 1375 is attributed to the courtier of Prince Bolko II of the Bolczów family.

In the years 1520-1550 the castle was expanded again, among others, a gate tower was erected, erected in front of the gate tower, a stone wall was built, and a dry moat was built, the walls were also adapted to artillery weapons by making key shooting ranges. Work continued until 1550. In 1562, the castle, together with Janowice and Miedzianka, became the property of the brothers Hans and Franz Heilmann. Probably at the beginning of the 17th century, Daniel Schaffgotsch, the then owner of Janowice, commissioned further work at the castle. Further transformations took place as a result of the Thirty Years' War. In 1645 it was taken by the Swedes, who, leaving the castle in December this year set fire to the residential buildings. Bolczów has remained in ruins since then. Interest in tourism in the mid-nineteenth century meant that the castle on the initiative of Count Stolberg-Wernigerode was subjected to reconstruction in 1848, it housed a small inn built on old Swiss-style foundations. After the war, the inn building housed a tourist hostel, which in time was devastated. Currently, the castle is the property of the State Forests, put into use by the Association "Municipal Residents" from Mniszków. The castle is part of the Jeleniogórska Valley Cultural Park established in 2008.
