A castle northeast of the city is mentioned in 1298. This castle was an exhibition of several documents of Schweidnitzer Duke Bolko I. The Ziębice Duke Bolko III. sold the town and castle of Kanth to the Dukes of Oels in 1379 .
In 1475 the castle was destroyed and a two-storey rectangular palace complex was built in its place . After a fire in 1624, the castle was not restored. Today earth walls are evidence of the earlier castle.
