The castle was besieged during the Thirty Years' War in 1640. The castle was occupied by the Swedish army in 1646. The castle and the town were sold to the Cistercians in 1703. Since then, the castle has remained uninhabited. The castle becomes the property of the Prussian treasury after secularization in 1810. Then the building began to fall into disrepair. In 1813, after the Napoleonic Wars, Russian soldiers stayed in the castle. They dug a hole at the base of the tower looking for legendary gold.
