The earliest records of the court Brunów are from as early as the fifteenth century. Historians believe it was a defensive structure similar to the shape of residential towers in the area. The Manor at that time belonged to a well-known and wealthy Silesian family of Zedlitz.

During the period 1740 - 1750 it was owned by Earl Bernhard von Schmettau. He decided to rebuild the old mansion by changing the older buildings into a small two storey baroque palace on a square.

Thirty-seven years later it changed ownership to Krzysztof Henry and Ernest von Schweinitz. Three weeks after the purchase of the property a fire broke out and destroyed all of the buildings. On ruins von Schweinitz built a new Baroque, two storey residence. Two Silesia`n architects were responsible for reconstruction: Mohrenberg and Scholtz.

Other owners of the palace were the family of Cottenet, which acceded to the vigorous expansion of assumptions palace in typical style of the nineteenth century. With this period comes stable and Carriage Depot, a fountain at the palace and park designed by Eduard Petzold. At the peak wall of the stable right at the entrance is the Cottenet family coat of arms.

Another major conversion was carried out in the years 1900 - 1901, founding the southern wing of the palace along with an orangery and an eighth tower.

In the 1930s the Hitler Youth set up a chapter in the palace school sports hall.

Immediately after the war, the palace was left to degrade.
