Smoleñ Castle was built in the Gothic style in the mid-14th century probably by Otto of Pilczy to the site of earlier wooden watchtower. It was enlarged after 1350 and again in the mid-15th century. The first document dates from 1394.

The castle was destroyed by the Swedish army in 1655. It has been in ruins since them.
