From 1660 to 1684 Tworog was the seat of the Upper Silesian family entourage of Georg Leonhard Colonna von Fels (Georg Linhart in Czech), fell as such in 1684 to his nephew and heir Franz Julius Verdugo (1661-1712) and remained in the possession of the von Verdugo family until 1757. From 1758 to 1807 it fell back to a younger line of the Colonna rock. Other owners were from 1807 to 1818 from Gastheimb, 1818 to 1826 from Renard and 1826 to 1945 from Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen .
