The first mention of the construction of the castle dates from 1209 year. It was originally surrounded by a moat. The owners of the castle (XV-XIX c.) were the following families: von Zedlitz, von Rechenberg, von Dohna, von Galinski, von Kottwitz, von Nostitz, von Gesseler and others. When in the XVI century, the castle was owned by Georg von Kotvits, its reconstruction began from the defense building to the palace residence in Renaissance style. Defensive walls were left, also another floor was added. On the south side the tower was built on the top, it had a bell placed in it. Nowadays, it is the highest part of the palace, the lowest part - arched cellars. According to legends, one of cellar had a source of the purest water. This is the legend of depraved maid of honor which was turned to golden duck.

The palace was built around a rectangular courtyard with three round towers at the corners and one rectangular tower. On the facades there are Renaissance stone window frames and portals, in Baroque and Renaissance style. In 1905, during the internal repair there was found an old wooden ceiling dating from 1583. The ceilings are covered with frescoes and family coat of arms, that were damaged during the war in 1945. Today, with a new roof, they secured from destruction.

In its history the palace received a lot of famous people. In 1611 in his own palace Leonard von Kottwitz organized a wedding of Chobienian pastor Johan Heermannow, who married a good parishioner Dorota Feige. Of particular note was the visit of the Prussian king Frederick the Great, called the philosopher of Sanssouci, the initiator of the first Polish division. Here, in the rooms of the palace, in 1759 after the defeat at Kunersdorf about Slubice (the biggest defeat of Prussia during the Seven Years War) King visited wounded soldiers. Later there was created a picture of "The King's Speech Frederick the Great in Hobeni." This painting hung in the hall and the town hall and had to remind the words uttered by the ruler of Prussia: "I tell you, my brave soldiers that nothing can divide us but death." Today, this image can be seen at the Museum of Art in Düsseldorf.
