The history of the castle in Tworków dates back to the middle ages. The former seat of Tworkowscy and Reiswitz families was purchased in 1860 by the family von Saurma-Jeltsch. Several years later (in 1872) the residence went under major refurbishment which was organized by a well known architect, Carl Heydenreich. His plans included an enlargement to the building and to change the castles character into a fully neo-Renaissance style with numerous turrets, bay windows and attics. A four-sided clock tower was also built on the site at that time. A fire that broke out in January 1931 laid end to the splendor of the castle. The fire destroyed the entire building including the tower. In 1945, during the war, the castle was burned down for a second time.

Today its ruins are the only evidence of its former glory. In 2003 the building was taken over by Krzyżanowice Commune, and protected it from further damage. There are works currently being conducted to the site to protect the ruins and to provide appropriate exposure so that the ruins of the castle can be visited.
