During the 13th century, where the Royal Castle now stands, it was the seat of Trojden, Duke of Masovia.
In the middle of the 14th century the Castle Tower was built and its remains up to the first storey have survived to this day. During the reign over Masovia by Duke Janusz I the Elder, the Curia Maior (Big Manor) was erected between 1407 and 1410. Its facade, which was still standing in 1944, was knocked down by the Germans, but has been rebuilt since then. From 1414 it functioned as a Prince Manor.
From 1548, Queen Bona Sforza (2 February 1494 – 19 November 1557) resided in it with her daughters Izabela. In 1598–1619 the Castle was enlarged during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa (Reign: 19 August 1587 – 30 April 1632).
