The palace was built in the Baroque style in 1677-1695 for the governor of Plock, Jan Dobrogost Krasinski, and its author was the architect Tilman from Gameran. Construction began in the spring of 1677 and by 1682 the main building was ready in its raw state. In March 1699, during the carnival, King Augustus II the Strong took part in a ball in the palace, followed by a ceremony to mark the signing of the peace in Karlowitz. Interior decoration was interrupted by the Third Northern War and the looting of the palace by the Swedes in 1702.→
