The castle was built there by Jerzy Ossoliński from 1639 to 1642. After that, the palace passed into the possession of the Lubomirski magnate family . Józef Karol Lubomirski had Tylman van Gameren expand the Ossoliński Palace from 1681 to 1696. It owes its name to the Saxon Prime Minister Heinrich von Brühl , who bought the palace in 1750.

From 1787 to 1788 the city palace was redesigned again under Dominik Merlini . After serving as the seat of the Polish Foreign Ministry in the interwar period, the castle was blown up by the Wehrmacht in 1944 after the Warsaw Uprising . Reconstruction is planned.

In September 2018, the Polish government announced that it would rebuild the Brühlsche Palais as the future seat of the Foreign Ministry.
